Doolittle do’d it! In World War II days Red Skelton’s “mean widdle kid” used to say “I do’d it!” on the comic’s radio show. A news story borrowed Skelton’s words on April 18, 1942, when Lt. Colonel James “Jimmy” Doolittle and his men took off from the carrier Hornet and made the first air attack on the Japanese mainland, greatly uplifting American morale in those dark days. “Doolittle do’d it!” became a popular catchphrase through- out America. |
