"After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States sent sixteen B-25 bombers on an air raid to Japan in 1942. Running low on fuel after completing their mission, Lieutenant colonel James Dolittle and his fellow pilots parachuted in China. They were rescued by Chinese troops and local civilians, but some 250,000 civilian Chinese were killed by Japanese aggressors in retaliation."
