I am guessing you are asking about the black man who patented a baby buggy.
I think you must mean General (then Colonel) James Doolittle. The "Doolittle Raiders" were sixteen medium bombers, B-25s, launched from an aircraft carrier, the USS Hornet. These were army bombers, much heavier than navy planes, and not intended to take off from a carrier. Carriers at the time did not have catapults to sling airplanes off the deck. The wings of these bombers did not fold like naval planes did, so only sixteen could be fitted on the deck, and none could be gotten down onto the hanger deck. Because the Hornet's deck was covered with these bombers she would be unable to operate her normal naval planes, and so had to be escorted by another carrier, the USS Enterprise. The US had only three aircraft carriers in the Pacific at the time so hazarding two of them on this mission was quite a risk to run. The mission is fairly well portrayed in the recent "Pearl Harbor" movie and was the subject of a much older, black-and-white film, "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo".The mission was on April 18, 1942. Little real damage was done to the four Japanese cities bombed, but the psychological effect was enormous, depressing the Japanese and giving a huge boost to American morale, only 4 1/2 months after Pearl Harbor. Colonel Doolittle went on to an illustrious career during the war, and was awarded the Medal of Honor for the raid on Japan.
