And Then There Were None; Doolittle Ed.

Retired Lt. Col. Richard “Dick” Cole, the last of the 80 Doolittle Tokyo Raiders who carried out the daring U.S. attack on Japan during World War II, died Tuesday at a military hospital in Texas. He was 103.
Col. Cole's memorial service will be held next week, on the 77th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid.

The Raiders now belong to history.

  1. I gather from the coverage that he was Doolittle's copilot. So, he had the shortest takeoff roll of all of them...
