Charles Ozuk served as a gunner and engineer with the legendary Doolittle Raiders, the men who carried out the audacious Tokyo Raid of April 18, 1942. Flying in one of the 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers launched from the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Hornet, Ozuk and his fellow raiders struck military and industrial targets on the Japanese home islands. The mission, led by Lieutenant Colonel James H. Doolittle, was the first American air raid on Japan following Pearl Harbor.
Although the raid caused limited physical damage, its psychological impact was profound, demonstrating to both Allied and Axis powers that Japan itself was vulnerable to American air attack. For their courage and willingness to embark on a mission with little chance of returning safely, the Doolittle Raiders became national heroes, and their actions remain among the most celebrated episodes of World War II.
This signed index card, authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA, represents an extraordinary opportunity to own the autograph of a man who took part in one of the most daring and historic missions of the Second World War.
Signer: Technical Sergeant Charles J. Ozuk (1919–1999), Tokyo Doolittle Raider
