Back to base

U.S. Army Air Force Lt. Robert L. Hite, blindfolded by his captors, is led from a Japanese transport plane after he and the other seven flyers were flown from Shanghai to Tokyo. Hite was co-pilot of crew 16 (B-25B s/n 40-2268 Bat out of Hell, 34th Bomb Squadron) of the "Doolittle Raiders". After about 45 days in Japan, all eight were taken back to China by ship and imprisoned in Shanghai. On 15 October 1942 three were executed, one died in captivity. The four others, including Hite, were liberated on 20 August 1945.
Lt. Col. Hite passed away 3 years ago tomorrow. There is only one remaining member of the Doolittle Raiders. Lt. Col. Richard Cole is 102 and lives in Comfort, Texas.

Doolittle Raiders

A picture of my great grand uncle Jack Heffernan. This is the only photo I have of him and was wondering if any one has any information. All I know is that he served in the USAAF on little sherry. My email is seonruiz@gmail.com.
