Lt Col Dick Cole, last Doolittle Raider has passed
I had the pleasure to meet him, and realize that this reminds
me of the debt we owe that generation. Blues skies and tail winds.

I've been around him on multiple occasions and he will be sorely missed.

Thanks for noting the passing of this last Doolittle Raid survivor, 9 days short of the 77th anniversary of the operation.

Thank you, Col. Cole. When our nation most needed a boost, you and your fellows provided it. We are forever in your debt.

Hi All,
And hi, Texman. Thanks for posting the passing of Lt. Col. Dick Cole. The greybeards among us knew that this sad day would come, while many of the younger folks around us have never even heard of this pivotal American victory in the skies over Japan. It is a loss to our nation that such brave deeds are lost to our collective memory. Score and fold, Thumb Dog |

I gave a tour last week of the WW2 galery at the USAF museum and noted that he was the last surviving member of that raid.
Now all the goblets are inverted. Isaac

B-25
Today I flew to Urbana airport north of Dayton. They have a B-25 which they flew out while I was visiting the Champagne air museum there.
B-25 similar to the one of the Doolitle raiders. Isaac
