===Books=== Many books have been written about the Doolittle Raid: * ''Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo'' (1943), by Captain [[Ted W. Lawson]] β a pilot who participated in the raid, focuses on the experiences of himself and his crew. A popular film based on the book was released in 1944. Written while the war was still in progress, Lawson disguised the identities of the persons in China assisting the raiders and did not publish the story until after the USAAF had released an official communique on 20 April 1943 detailing most aspects of the mission, including the identities of the raiders and their fates. * ''Doolittle's Tokyo Raiders'', by C. V. Glines (1964) β tells the complete story of the raid, including the unique experiences of each B-25 crew. He followed this with a second account, ''The Doolittle Raid: America's daring first strike against Japan'' (1988), incorporating information from first-hand accounts of the Raiders and from Japanese sources.{{sfn|Glines|1988|p=226}} * ''Target Tokyo: Jimmy Doolittle and the Raid That Avenged Pearl Harbor'', by James M. Scott (2015) β based on scores of never-before-published records drawn from archives across four continents as well as new interviews with survivors. * ''Last Mission to Tokyo'', by [[Michel Paradis]] (2020) β revealed the story of the two crews who were captured by the Japanese and the war crimes trials that followed based upon newly discovered records in the United States and Japan. * ''Raid of No Return'', by [[Nathan Hale (author)|Nathan Hale]] (2017) β a fictionalized account of the raid, presented in graphic novel format for early readers; the book is a part of the Nathan Hale's ''Hazardous Tales'' series. * ''The First Heroes: The Extraordinary Story of the Doolittle Raid β America's First World War II Victory'', by Craig Nelson (2003)
