Not only was he the father of IFR, while he was in the army he applied for and got 2 years leave to go for his master's at MIT. He was so motivated he finished in the 1st year, so he used the 2nd year to earn his Doctorate.
Yes, the 30 Sec. Over Tokyo mission commander was formally entitled Dr. Doolittle.

If you like that, check out "The Aviators" which is a bio on Eddie Rickenbacker, Charles Lindbergh, and Jimmy Doolittle. Although I had read bits and pieces of each of these three aviation pioneers, (and Doolittle's bio, I could never be so lucky again) I had never read their full life stories, or knew about all their contributions to aviation.
The Aviators follows each of the big three from birth. Their childhood years, how each got into flying, their WW1 flying, the time between the wars, their WW2 flying, post war work, all the way to their deaths.
Great aviation history reading if you like that kind of thing.
