Jimmy Doolittle of the US Army Air Corps led a small force of B-25 bombers on a bombing raid over Tokyo Japan on April 13, 1942. The B-25 was a land based bomber but on this raid they were launched from aircraft carriers, a feat that had never been tried before.
Robert E. Lee was placed in emergency command of a US Marine unit out of Washington to end Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry.
The only thing that came out of Doolittle's raid on Japan was a sense by the United States that Japan could be attacked on its own soil. The raid did little to defeat or cripple the Japanese army, air force or navy.
