The Doolittle raid was to show that Tokyo could be attacked. Psychologically, it bolstered the resolve of the US during the early days of the war. It also may have contributed to increased efforts by the Japanese to protect the home islands, which obviously meant fewer forces could be deployed in their attacks in southern Asia and the Pacific.

The Doolittle Raid, on 18 April 1942
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.
Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle led 16 bombers on a bombing raid through Tokyo and other Japanese cities.
