This is an original pencil drawing with white highlights on sepia recycled card by Steve Teasdale. It features the genuine signature of James Doolittle. Jimmy Doolittle was a flying instructor during World War I and a Reserve officer in the United States Army Air Corps, but he was recalled to active duty during World War II. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for personal valor and leadership as commander of the Doolittle Raid, a bold long-range retaliatory air raid on some of the Japanese main islands on April 18, 1942, four months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The raid was a major morale booster for the United States and Doolittle was celebrated as a hero. This bookplate is roughly 20x13 cm and will fit most books.
