I was at the museum on Friday as a volunteer and was privileged to meet Mr. Dick Cole who was Col. Doolittle's copilot and was able to chat with him for a while. He received his training in the civilian training program in a Taylorcraft and had his primary VFR flight check ride in Vandaila, Ohio the same place I took mine 40 years later. sooooo cool. He grew up here in the Dayton, Ohio area. He is currently 98 years old and gets around without a cane! He was the one  that opened the bottle of Connacht for the other two raiders.
