Col. Jimmy Doolittle’s co-pilot in the lead plane of the 1942 bombing raid on Japan in retaliation for the attack on Pearl Harbor during WWII. Before his death at age 103, Cole was the last survivor of the 80 Doolittle Raiders who executed America’s first strikes against the Japanese in World War II. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
