The Doolittle Raid upon Tokyo , Japan .
Attacked Tokyo via the Doolittle Raid in 1942 (Sixteen B-25 Mitchells launched from the deck of the USS Hornet).
The Flight Commander for the first wave of attack planes was Lt. Commander Mitsuo Fuchida. It was Fuchida who radioed the now famous (or infamous) code Tora! Tora! Tora! to Admiral Chuichi Nagumo, commanding the carrier attack fleet, and from there relayed to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the Japanese Fleet Admiral, notifying them that complete and total tactical surprise had been achieved by the Japanese attack force as the attack on Pearl Harbor began. It is interesting to note that Fuchida was part of the Japanese delegation on board the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay when Japan formally signed the Instruments of Surrender, which ended the war.
