	Jimmy Doolittle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Doolittle trained at the University of California School of Military Aeronautics at Rockwell Field, California, and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Signal Corps' Aviation Section on March 11, 1918.
		At Kelly Field, Doolittle served with the 104th Aero Squadron and the 90th Aero Squadron, and it was with the latter unit that he performed line duty at Eagle Pass.
		Discharged from the hospital, Doolittle was assigned to McCook Field for experimental work, with Additional Duty as an Instructor Pilot to the 385th Bomb Squadron of the Air Corps Reserve.

		Even that early, however, the U.S. Army was deep in plans to set up its own aeronautical engineering laboratory at McCook Field at Dayton, Ohio, and by 1918 it had begun systematic research and development of the fledgling weapon of war.
		Europe was a field of battle once again; Hitler’s blitzkrieg on Poland was about to teach the world a new concept of war, and England and France were to declare war on Germany before the end of the year.
		The scientific and engineering staff at Wright Field had played a pivotal role in all of these developments and, clearly, this was the supreme location for an ambitious young would-be engineering test pilot.
