Summary

Jacob Deshazer, a farm boy from Oregon, joined the army Air Corps at age 27. He had always wanted to be a pilot, but when he did not qualify, an opportunity opened to become a bombardier. By luck of the draw, Jacob found himself as one of the 80 Men participating in the famous Doolittle Raid over Japan shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
