Default Col. William Bower, pilot #12 Doolittle Raiders passes

It is with sadness that I must report the passing of a true Amerian Hero, Col. William Bower. He was the last surviving pilot of the Raiders and flew ship #12. Thanks Bill, for your courage, commitment and the inspiration you helped bring to a country and a people in crisis. Your service honors us all forever...Godspeed!

Here's a link to the takeoff and flyover of 17 B25's that were assembled to honor the 68th Doolittle Raiders Reunion last April.
