Richard “Dick” Cole was Jimmy Doolittle’s copilot on the first bomber to launch from the USS Hornet, during the famous Tokyo Raid. On 18 April 1942, only four months after the Pearl Harbor attack, Dick Cole and 79 other Doolittle Raiders successfully accomplished the first bombing mission on Japan. Cole had the enormous responsibility of being the co-pilot of B-25 number one, piloted by Jimmy Doolittle himself. Launching 250 miles earlier than planned because a Japanese fishing boat had spotted them, all 16 aircraft had to ditch or crash land after striking their targets--they did not have enough fuel to make it to their intended Chinese landing sites.

The autograph(s) includes an official PSA/DNA hologram and matching COA for authenticity purposes.
