ITEM DESCRIPTION: U.S. 927 with Pent Arts cachet of Major General Vandenburg, Commander 9th Air Force, with the signature of General James H. Doolittle [executed while he was still on active service during World War II]. In 1922, Jimmy Doolittle made the first transcontinental flight in less than 24 hours. In the 1920's and 1930's, he set various speed and flight records. In World War II, Doolittle and 79 other fighter pilots bombed Tokyo on April 18, 1942, the first air attack on the Japanese capital. Also hit were targets in Yokohama and other cities, scoring a huge victory for United States morale at a time when Japan's position in the Pacific seemed impregnable. Doolittle was promoted to Brigadier General the next day and was later awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for the raid. Covers autographed by General Doolittle during World War II are offered elsewhere on the Internet for $200.00 to $350.00 each.
