"**David ""Davy"" Jones Hand-Signed 3x5 Cut Signature – Authenticated and Encapsulated by PSA/DNA**
This hand-signed 3x5 cut signature by David ""Davy"" Jones, one of the legendary Doolittle Raiders, is a significant piece of World War II history. David M. Jones was a U.S. Army Air Force pilot who gained fame for his participation in the daring Doolittle Raid on Tokyo on April 18, 1942. As the pilot of Plane #5, Jones played a vital role in this unprecedented mission, which was the first American airstrike on the Japanese home islands following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
After the raid, Jones continued his distinguished military career, serving in various capacities including as a prisoner of war in Germany after being shot down. He went on to achieve the rank of Brigadier General, leaving behind a legacy of courage and dedication to his country.
The Doolittle Raiders were a group of 80 airmen led by Lt. Col. James Doolittle, who executed a surprise bombing raid on Japan in retaliation for the attack on Pearl Harbor. Flying 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers, these men launched from the USS Hornet in what was considered a one-way mission due to the distance and fuel limitations. Though the physical damage from the raid was minimal, its psychological impact on both the U.S. and Japan was profound, as it showed that Japan was vulnerable to American air attacks.
This signed cut signature is authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA, providing collectors with a high level of assurance regarding its authenticity. A matching PSA/DNA certificate of authenticity accompanies the piece, making it a secure and valuable addition to any collection.
