He was a virtuoso of the calculated risk. I'd say some 18 yrs later you followed his model of modesty in achievement quite well.

One of the instruments Lt Doolittle pioneered and used on that flight, the attitude indicator, has been used ever since on nearly all aircraft and piloted space vehicles, including the current Soyuz. It was the central indicator on the instrument panel of the Bell X-1!
