The Chinese airfields were not warned in advance of the arrival of the Doolittle raiders and many turned off their lights and sounded air raid sirens because they did think they were Japanese bombers. They did not turn off the lights because the earlier arrival was unexpected; the entire arrival of US bombers was unexpected.Admiral Halsey was supposed to send a signal to the Chinese airfields but did not do so for fear of signaling presence of his carrier force which launched the raiders.
