When did Doolittle Raid happen?

General Doolittle organized the raid on Japan in 1942. Militarily, the Doolittle Raid was meaningless. It involved extreme risk to an aircraft carrier group and throwing away a large number of men and aircraft for very little damage inflicted. Politically, however, the raid was a tremendous success. It showed the public, press, and political leaders that America could strike at Japan. It showed the Japanese that their home islands were subject to bombing, although the majority of Japanese civilians were kept unaware of the raid. The actual date of the raid was April 18, 1942.
