Little known fact. Doolittle was the first to target Japan in WWI by jet engine after the attack in Pearl Harbor. Truly a pioneer indeed!

Little known because it didn’t happen, though I suspect that’s why you tweeted it and mentioned ww1. If so - funny.

@NickPisca Doolittle Raid was 15 B25 Mitchells (it’s what worked best on the USS Hornet with about six foot clearance to the island). They were twin prop, not jet. Lt. Richard Cole is sole remaining raider (out of 80) and just turned 103.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

I'm not sure what you are blabbering on about, but the guy flew jets to Japan and bombed them to win WWI. I read about it in class.

Nice trolling. Find a better place to air your trolls than on Gen. Yeagers feed. If by a slim slim chance you are serious all you need to do is a net search and read the story.
