Descriptionof Doolittle Raid Doctor
Manufacturer

The aircraft numbered 15 in the Doolittle Raid carried a flight surgeon, Dr. Thomas Robert White, MD (1909-92). White was a graduate of Harvard Medical School and was awarded the Silver Star and the Distinguished Flying Cross. During the war, White wrote a 40,000-word report on the mission. He vividly described the bombing and the subsequent escape through occupied China. This included a life-saving leg amputation for Ted Lawson, the author of Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. Part of White's story was published in Atlantic magazine around 1944. The rest remained private. The doctor's granddaughter, Gabrielle Adelman, worked with aerospace expert John Fredrickson to prepare, edit and annotate the manuscript for this publication.
