William Glover Farrow (September 24, 1918 – October 15, 1942) was a lieutenant in the United States Army Air Forces who participated in the Doolittle Raid. In February 1942, he volunteered to participate in the raid, which took place on April 18 that year. Farrow was captured by the Japanese after the completion of his bombing mission. Along with two other crew members, he was tried and sentenced to death and executed by firing squad for firing machine guns at civilian targets. His ashes were recovered and interred in the Arlington National Cemetery in 1946, and he posthumously received multiple awards.
