Gone West: Lt. Col. Edward Saylor

Was One Of The Doolittle Tokyo Raiders

ANN has learned that Lieutenant Colonel Edward J. Saylor passed away Wednesday, January 28th at his home in Washington State.

Saylor was one of 80 men that comprised Doolittle's Tokyo Raiders during WWII. He was the engineer of Crew 15.

Warbirdnews.com relayed a report from WarbirdRadio.com that Saylor requested no funeral or military ceremony. His wish was to be buried beside his wife.

Warbird Radio host Matt Jolley spoke with Tom and Catherine Casey, who were longtime friends of Saylor's and are the managers of the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders. They confirmed his passing, and said "we will miss his sense of humor, his smile and his dedication to the legacy of Doolittle Tokyo Raid.”

It is recommended that memorials to Lt. Col. Saylor be made in the form of a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project.
