New York Times Bestselling Series!
"These books are, quite simply, brilliant. . . . Thrilling, bloody,
action-packed stories from American history." --New York Times
Go behind the scenes of World War II's top-secret Doolittle Raid with
the New York Times bestselling graphic novel series!
Presented in the author's instantly recognizable artistic and
storytelling style, this colorful, exciting book of history for kids
starts with a brief explanation of the events leading up to World War II
and then describes the bombing of Pearl Harbor from both the Japanese
and American points of view.
The American response was a super-secret counterattack organized by
stunt pilot Jimmy Doolittle. Just four months after Pearl Harbor,
American crews would launch sixteen B-25 bombers from the aircraft
carrier USS Hornet to drop bombs on the Japanese capital Tokyo and
then fly to safety in China. Everything about the mission was as
dangerous as it was secret. B-25s were not designed to take off from an
aircraft carrier. Japan had formidable air defenses. There was no way to
plan for landing in China or returning safely to America.
The Doolittle Raid, as it became known, went down in miliary history as
one of the most creative and harrowing missions of World War II. The
pilots and crews became American heroes.
