The Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942 was a one-way mission by design — the B-25 crews knew before takeoff that they lacked the fuel to return to the carrier Hornet after striking Tokyo. Sixteen aircraft bombed the Japanese mainland and then pressed on toward China, where most crews bailed out or crash-landed. The raid's material damage was negligible; its psychological impact on Japanese military planning, particularly the decision to overextend toward Midway, was not.
The Marshall Islands issued dozens of commemorative brass $10 pieces through the early 1990s under licensing arrangements that had little connection to U.S. legal tender. KM#85 is one of a long series targeting the American collector market.
