Doolittle related in a state ment. and “left it in flames." The aircraft plant was strewn with incendiary bombs “along a quarter of a mile" of its length, he added. Japanese planes gave the raiders little trouble, their leader reported, and not much difficulty was en countered in getting to the objective in the sensational raid, which threw Japan into contusion and gave a great lift to the morale ol the Unitec Nations, aside from inflicting im portant damage. Doolittle said that the Mpiadroi ol American planes came : just ovei the housetops, and dropped bomb; from 1,50(1 feet. The low level Hy ing, he said, made it difficult to ob serve results of the bombs. "It ..ppeared to as." the flying general declared, “that practically every bomi reached the target lot which it was ntended.
