Dr. Thomas Robert White, M.D. (1909-1992), was the only medical officer to fly with the famous Doolittle Raid over Japan on April 18, 1942. With no extra seats, he trained as a gunner and flew in that role. His 40,000-word memoir of the preparations, mission, and dramatic escape via China was hidden away by the family for 80 years. Hear his dramatic story of escape and evasion from Japanese soldiers in war-torn China for the first time. The book version was released in September 2025.
