Bri". Gen. James
Doolittle Former
Nome Hi Student
1906-07
Tough stocky, sentiment
| al James Harold Doolittle,|
|Sc.D., man of culture and:
| scrappy legend of U. S. av
iation, received a present
from the White House last
month. The present: the
star of a Brigadier General
in the U. S. Army Air Fore
es. To Jimmy Doolittle,
one-time crack amateur
boxer who turned his back
on a fat job in commercial
aviation to get a shot at
the Jap, this came at an
appropriate time: within
the week of the bombing
of Tokyo.
He deserved it. Aeronau
tical engineer, nerveless
experimenter in anything
aeronautical, Doolittle had
contributed as much as
any, more than most, to
the advancement of com
mercial and military fly
ing. As a professional sol
dier he was the first to take
off, fly and land by instru
ments. He set distance re
cords, tested wings, engin
es, anything. He once flew
across the Andes, his legs
in plaster casts, to demon
strate a U. S. plane.
Doolitle was not merely
the ace of aces in sky stunt
ing. He was not only air
minded; he had an air
mind. He alone dissented,
from the Baker Board find
ings in 1934 when other!
committee members scoff-;
ed at a separate air force, j
In 1930 Doolittle quit
speed flying in the Army,!
went to work for Shell Pe-'
troleum Corp. In July 1940
he heard the drone of war-1
planes, pulled on his har
ness again and went back
to the Air Corps. (He had
been a major in the Reser-.
ve during the decade.) He
needled the Allison engine
plant for production, got
results. He studied manu
facturing techniques to
boost plane output. Once
he took time off to pin new
ly won wings on the uni
form ofi Jimmy Jr., at a
Texas training field.
“In the excitement,”
said sentimentalist Doo
little later, “I forgot to re
turn my son’s salute. I felt
like a heel.”
Editor’s Note:-This same
James Harold Doolittle is,
one of Nome’s former high!
school students of 1906-07.!
Among those attending
school at that time, and!
who are still permanent;
residents of Nome are: Mrs!
Edith Weaver, Guy Boyd,
Cappy McDougal and Bud
Lehmann.
MONROE-GLOVER WEDDING
Miss Pauline Monxx>e and Fred
Glover were united in marriage ■
Saturday evening at the parson-;
age of the Fedei’ated Church,
Rev. Wood officiating. Howard
Lobley and Mrs. Lorena Gray
stood up for the couple.
Mr. Glover is an employee of
the U. S. S. R. & M. Co and
the bride has been connected
with the Nevada Grill.
