    The Doolittle raid is integral to the plot of the 1943 war movie Destination Tokyo, with Cary Grant (and many other famous names; almost an 'all star' cast, really).

    Jimmy Doolittle at that exact moment the man who knew all the plans for American military warplane production WW2. Doolittle knew he needed to not be taken alive. You can even say he should have not led the attack. But so great was repute it was the national interest to allow the man to go.
