    A flyover takes place during the interment of retired Col. Richard E. Cole, Sept. 7, 2021, at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, Texas. World War II pilot Dick Cole, the last surviving member of the Doolittle Raid, died at the age of 103. Cole was an aviation pioneer who served as Jimmy Doolittle's co-pilot in April 1942 on the first counterattack against the Japanese mainland after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The raid caused Japan to contract its forces and start a battle with the United States over Midway Atoll, a small ring shaped island between North America and Asia.
