On April 18; 1942; 16 B-25 Bombers took off from the Aircraft Carrier USS Hornet. They bombed Tokyo and four other cities in Japan. This was the famous Doolittle Raid; a turning point in World War II. One crew landed in the Soviet Union and were held prisoner there until they escaped. This is their story.

Somewhere down the line; they may need to do a report on some scientist. Done very well for a young reader. There were many I never heard of which was very enlightening !!! they all were important contributors to science.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. GREATBy DebPerfect book for school. Filled with loads of facts.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Outstanding "micro" biographiesBy TheCoastiesMy homeschooled child has this as a text for Life Science this year. I opened the book and read the stories of the first several scientists. This is not an exhaustive study of the person nor the scientific achievement - it is a "mini-biography" of each person. Just enough to have basic knowledge of each individual included - a great stepping stone if you will. The truly interested reader can find additional books with more depth if desired.The PhD (Chemistry); who teaches the science classes my children attend has this as a required text. I think this is a great "general resource" book for a home library - just wish it was in hardcover!The author does a good job with the people chosen for inclusion.
