Japan had been virtually unopposed in the months following Pearl Harbor and while this raid did little damage compared to the B-29 raids that would strike in the future, it sent a loud and clear message to both the Japanese and to the US homefront that America was fighting back and that Peark Harbor would be avenged. Eighty men on 16 B-25 aircraft had hit Tokyo, Kobe, Osaka, Yokosuka, Yokohama and Nagoya. Their aircraft were all lost. One man died parachuting into China and two died while crash landing their plane. Eight were captured, and of those, three were shot by their captors, one died in captivity and four spent the war years as prisoners but survived the war. Doolittle received the Medal Honor, was advanced to the rank of Brigadeer General and all 80 were awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. The Doolittle Raid was a daring act and at 2,250 miles it was the longest B-25 flight in history.
