Pilot on plane 2 during the Doolittle Raid (1917–2004). ALS signed “Travis Hoover, Col. USAF Ret.,” one page, 8.5 x 11, October 20, 1994. Letter to an admirer. In part: “You ask me about my feeling during take off from the USS Hornet right behind Gen. Doolittle. No I didn’t feel any extra pressure because he had gotten off so nicely. In fact it bolstered my confidence. My most memorable experience on the Doolittle Tokyo Raid was when we reached the Japanese occupied China coast and tried to climb and the engines quit from fuel starvation, realizing that was the end of our flight. Equally memorable was my meeting and very close comradeship with Tung Sheng Liu who saved me and my crew from falling into Japanese hands.” In fine condition.
