Since this is posted under WW2, I will not explain the origin of the family name or the Disney movie. Doolittle was the name of an Air Force officer who was choosen to lead the first bombing raid against the homeland of Japan. The mission was a suicide mission that was intended to boost morale in America after the attack on Pearl Harbor. So you will find references to this with phrases like "Doolittle raid" or "Doolittle bombers".
