King of the Sky
Jimmy Doolittle did more to advance aviation than anyone since the Wright Brothers. With a PhD in engineering from MIT, he was a daring test pilot who often risked his life to help develop more reliable equipment. And his experiments with blind flying helped bring about the age of dependable commercial aviation. But it was in warfare that he really made his name. From the legendary "Doolittle Raid" to his work with the European 8th Air Force, we'll see his enormous contribution to the winning of WWII. Includes both archival footage and interviews with those who knew him. 50 min. #00V8613
