LtCol Robert Hite, one of the last three living Doolittle Raiders, died Sunday at the age of 95.  Hite was a POW of the Japanese after the raid for the remainder of the war, until his camp was liberated three years later in 1945.

With his death, LtCol Richard “Dick” Cole and SSgt David Thatcher are the last two of the 80 men who participated in the daring raid on Tokyo.
