Charles Ozuk's first assignment was as a B-25 Mitchell navigator with the 95th Bomb Squadron of the 17th Bomb Group at McChord Field, Washington, from February 1941 until he was selected for the Doolittle Mission in February 1942. Lt Ozuk served as the navigator on the 3rd B-25 to take off from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8) on April 18, 1942, and after bombing targets in Tokyo, the crew flew to China and bailed out when their aircraft ran out of fuel. After the raid and evading capture, he remained in the China-Burma-India Theater until returning to the United States in June 1942. Charles J. Ozuk has hand autographed this Vintage B&W 8x10 Photo with Crew #3 inscription. JSA Authentication Sticker & Certificate of Authenticity #FF97820
