Granddaughter of Gen. James “Jimmy” Doolittle visits 95th RS

A photo of Gen. James Harold “Jimmy” Doolittle, American aviation pioneer and retired lieutenant general in the U.S. Army Air Corps, and his crew who formed part of the “Doolittle Raiders,” sits on a table at the 95th Reconnaissance Squadron Heritage Hub after being signed by Jonna Doolittle Hoppes, Doolittle’s granddaughter, May 12, 2017, on RAF Mildenhall, England. While at RAF Mildenhall, Doolittle Hoppes shared that when Spencer Tracy was asked to play the role of her grandfather in the movie “Thirty Seconds over Tokyo,” the first thing he said was “I’ll let you know…” then proceeded to call Jimmy Doolittle himself to ask his permission to play the role.
