Jummy Doolittle, and David Thatcher (R) aircraft #7 and silver star recipient, are members of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo, April 18, 1942.

No planes were shot down or seriously damaged during the raid, but 2 crewmembers died when their plane crashed into the ocean off the coast of China.

  • Glen Shiel and the River Shiel. This is the site of the Battle of Glen Shiel which occurred on June 10, 1719. Referred to as the "Little Rising" or "the 19", it is the second major battle in the Jacobite uprising saga, the first being in 1715. Allied with around 200 Spanish forces, the Jacobites (including notables like Rob Roy MacGregor) fought the English (and Dutch and other Scottish clans) but were defeated in this single skirmish lasting around 4 hours. It is also the last close engagement of English and foreign troops on the mainland. The Jacobites had captured Eilean Donan Castle at the west end of Glen Shiel and were using it as a supply base. The Spanish and some Scots were stationed there and refused to surrender when fired upon by English ships. The battle began at 5pm and ended at 9pm when the Jacobites retreated and dispersed. About 21 English soldiers were killed and 100 - 121 wounded, and about 100 Jacobites were killed with  100+ wounded. The next (and final) Jacobite uprising wouldn't occur until 1745 at Culloden, near Inverness.
