Jonna Doolittle Hoppes
Jonna Doolittle Hoppes (born Jonna Doolittle) is an American author whose works include oral histories and biographies. The granddaughter of aviation pioneer and United States Air Force General Jimmy Doolittle, she is an enthusiastic speaker and represents the Doolittle family at events throughout the world.
Hoppes' works celebrate the veterans and civilians who defended their countries and document their stories that would otherwise be lost. Her publications have been favorably reviewed by various trade magazines.
==Early years==
Hoppes was born the second of John and Priscilla Doolittle's five children. Her father, one of James H. Doolittle's two sons, is a retired USAF colonel who flew combat missions in both the Korean War and Vietnam War. Her siblings include an older sister, Jody, a younger sister, Penny, and twin brothers, Peter and Patrick.
During her childhood, she spent many hours with her grandparents, whom she called Granny and Gramps, when they lived in San Francisco and later in Los Angeles, California. The Doolittle Raiders, who flew with her grandfather on the 1942 mission to bomb Tokyo, were part of her extended family, and she would sometimes attend their yearly reunions. Honorary raiders, such as historian Colonel Carroll. V. Glines, became important figures in Hoppes' life. Glines would later write the foreword to her book, ''Calculated Risk''.
