CINCINNATI -- Maj. Thomas C. "Tom" Griffin, a B-25 bomber navigator in the audacious Doolittle's Raid attack on mainland Japan during World War II, has died.
His death at age 96 leaves four surviving Raiders. They plan one more reunion this summer, and will share the bottle of 1896 (GEN Doolittle's birth year) cognac that has been prepared for this moment.
The video below pays fitting tribute not only to the Raiders (they are included in the clips), but to all who "loosed the surly bonds of earth" in their country's service.
