Jimmy Doolittle was one of the great aviation pioneers of the 1920s and 1930s. He was the first to make a &quot;blind&quot; flight and only only winner of the Schneider, Bendix, and Thompson Trophy competitions, considered by many the most important races of the era. He was America&#x27;s greatest air racing pilot, an aeronautical engineer, fearless test pilot and a national hero of World War II.
