Description

This first hand account of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo is one of the greatest stories of American bravery and ingenuity that has ever been written. More than that, it is  a unique  tribute to the teamwork among the United States Air Force, Army and Navy, and an unforgettable reminder of a debt that we owe to our Chinese allies. The lenghts to which Chinese peasants went to save the American airmen from their Japanese pursuers and to deliver them to safety beggar description.
À PROPOS DE CET AUTEUR
Captain Ted W. Lawson

Major Ted William Lawson ( March 7th, 1917 - January 19th, 1992 ) was born in Alameda ( California, United States ). He attended Los Angeles City College ( East Hollywood, Los Angeles ) in 1937 - 1938. In March 1940, he joined the U.S. Army Air Corps as an Aviation Cadet, while a student studying Aeronautical Engineering by day and working nights in the Drafting Department of Douglas Aircraft Company. Ted W. Lawson received his pilot's wings and commission as a Second Lieutenant on November 15th, 1940. 


In early 1942, First Lieutenant Lawson was flying antisubmarine patrols with the 17th Bomb Group out of Pendleton ( Oregon, United States ). He was accepted as a volunteer for the mission led by Lieutenant Colonel James Harold " Jimmy " Doolittle ( 1896 - 1993 ) to bomb Tokyo and several other cities in Japan. Launched from the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Hornet and after having bombed the target, Ted W. Lawson crashed his B - 25 Mitchell ( " The Ruptured Duck " ) off the coast of the small island of Nantien ( China ). 


All five crew members survived the crash, but Ted W. Lawson was suffering from a compound fracture of the left leg, a lacerated left bicep and severe facial injuries. After both repatriation and medical care ( amputation of his injured leg and facial reconstruction ), he served as Liaison Officer at Santiago, Chile ( May 1943 - April 1944 ). Major Ted W. Lawson was retired from service on February 2nd, 1945.

À PROPOS DE CET EDITEUR
INFANTRY JOURNAL - PENGUIN BOOKS
Penguin Books is a British publishing house. In 1934, on his way to London ( England ) after visiting his friend Agatha Christie ( 1890 - 1976 ), the young publisher Allen Lane Williams ( later known as Sir Allen Lane, 1902 - 1970 ) stopped at the station bookstall at Exeter Saint Davids and saw that all the books on sale were of a poor quality and overpriced. What was needed, he realised, were good books at a price everyone could afford. Within a year he had founded Penguin Books ( along with his brothers Richard and John ), creating a paperback revolution that democratised quality literature and would fundamentally change the publishing world forever. The Second World War saw the company established as a national institution, and though it had no formal role, Penguin Books was integral to the war effort thanks in no small part to the publication of such bestselling manuals as Keeping Poultry and Rabbits on Scraps and Aircraft Recognition, as well as supplying books for the services and British P.O.W.'s. Penguin Books printed some 600 titles and started nineteen new series in the six years of the war. Today, Penguin Books continues to lead the industry. In a market which is constantly changing, they are stretching the definition of the word publisher : working with talent across the creative spectrum - from TV production companies to A - list audiobook narrators - to connect with more readers than ever before, both through and beyond the book.
