DENVER V. TRUELOVE; DOOLITTLR RAIDER; (KIA 5 April,1943) Truelove volunteered for a secret mission that became known as the Doolittle Raid, named for its leader, the famous aviator James H. "Jimmy" Doolittle. The raid was meant to bomb the Japanese in response to the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.[2] Truelove was the bombardier for plane crew #5, one of the 16 B-25 planes that took off from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet. After a short time in England, Truelove was stationed in North Africa. During this time, he was promoted to Captain.[5] In North Africa, he checked fliers in and out and also flew on some missions. “When I do not fly, I check others out and in. Some do not return. I have been around the world. Our country is the best, and I am willing to die for our USA," Truelove wrote in a letter to his family.[1] Captain Truelove was assigned to the 428th Bomb Squadron, 310th Bomb Group. On April 5, 1943, his unit was attacking an Axis shipping convoy in the Mediterranean Sea. Off Trappin, Sicily, his B-25, piloted by Captain Richard A. Aldrdige, was shot down. Of the crew of six on board, Truelove, * CAPTAIN RICHARD T. NORVELL, * and Technical Sergeant Warren V. Richardson were not recovered and were declared Missing in Action (MIA).
