I have a penciled Doolittle autograph literally one foot from my reach right now. My father got it from Doolittle (whom he instantly recognized) while he was bartendering at one of the country clubs outside NYC (not Westchester). Dad joined the Navy between VE Day and VJ Day.

Doolittle was a major revered hero of the war.
