April 18, 1942 - 70 years ago today, 16 planes took off on a
mission over Japan - the Doolittle Raid. No one knew what would really happen. Jake DeShazer was one of those participating in the raid and his life ultimately had a huge impact on the Japanese pilot who led the attack on Pearl Harbor - Mitsuo Fuchida.
Jake went back to Japan with his wife and young child and at the bottom you'll see a photo of him with his former guard.
If the stories of Jake DeShazer, Mitsuo Fuchida, and the
Covell families were fiction, it wouldn't be so great because it would be
too far-fetched to believe. But it's a true story, and an amazing one that needs to be
told. This is much of what Wounded Tiger is about. The book will be available later this year.
