R.I.P. David Thatcher


The last but one survivor of the crews that flew with Jimmy Doolittle in his famous raid on Japan. Only slightly injured in the crash landing of his plane, he was instrumental in the survival of his more seriously injured crewmates who all survived. Richard Cole, Doolittle's co-pilot is the last one left.

We shall not see his like again.
