General Jimmy Doolittle Raid Tokyo World War Tinted Photo WWII WW2

Description: This is an original period image from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and other quality sources restored and tinted by the internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. This is an exclusive listing of his work on ebay. Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo. Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. Unless requested when placing your order, your image may be cropped. If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in. Matte Finish: E-Surface Photo Paper is by far our most popular photographic paper. As a professional paper, it boasts rich, sharp color that won't fade or yellow, creating beautiful prints that will last for years to come. Glossy Finish: Fuji Pearl paper offers natural looking skin-tones, sharp details and beautifully saturated colors. It is strong and resistant to tearing or curling without any additional lamination. This paper uses a patented combination of film and laminate layers that results in striking three-dimensional images on an ultra-bright background. This paper is truly impressive. Major General Jimmy Doolittle Medal Of Honor "If you men have any idea that this isn't the most dangerous thing you've ever been on, don't even start this training period. You can drop out now. There isn't much sense wasting time and money training men who aren't going through with this thing. It's perfectly all right for any of you to drop out." Lt Col James Doolittle to future Doolittle Raiders Today, James Doolittle is best known for the "Raid on Tokyo" or "Doolittle's Raid". Before WWII, Doolittle was the American second only to Charles Lindbergh in aviation fame. In 1922, Doolittle was the first pilot to make a trans-continental flight in less than 24 hours. He set a new speed record for seaplanes of 245 miles per hour in 1925. In 1927, he became the first pilot to execute the outside loop. Doolittle was the first pilot to fly blind, using only instruments in 1929. During the coming war, Doolittle's aviation deeds gave his men the confidence to fly his "push the envelope" missions. In July 1, 1940, James Doolittle left civilian life for a job that paid one-tenth of what he was used to earning - active duty reservist. Doolittle believed the US would be pulled into a war and he wanted to help. In 1942, President Roosevelt decided to bring the war to the "Land of the Rising Sun". Doolittle was brought in as the consultant to plan and train men to use the deck of a ship as a base to bomb Tokyo. On April 18, 1942, sixteen B-25 medium bombers took off from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet. Doolittle flew the first plane off the deck. Before departure, the flight crews knew they didn't have enough fuel to land at a safe airfield. They took off anyway. On return, Doolittle was presented the Medal of Honor from the President and promoted two grades to Brigadier General. This image was between November 1942 and March of 1944 while he was a Major General.
