The April 18, 1942 bombing raid on Tokyo conducted by Lt. Col. James Doolittle's 16 Mitchell B-25s---dubbed "Operation Shangri-la" by FDR---is recalled. It was a major American morale booster in the wake of Allied disasters in the Pacific, although its military significance was minimal.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for Air Wars. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
The Doolittle Raid is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 5 out of 5, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 50m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
