1942 Doolittle Raid Launch Footage

[magcharles1]

Very good, thanks!! A historical side note, the raiders did their secret training at Eglin AFB, Florida. The small town (name not mentioned here) next to the base was more than unfriendly to the raiders. As many of the town businesses displayed signs in their windows which read; "No dogs, n*gg*rs or airmen". After the raid the townsfolks realizing that many of the raiders had trained there and died and were tortured, had a change of heart and took down the signs.

Some of them never came back. It took lots of courage to do so. Respect

THATS AWESOME!!!!!!! At the end they show Doolittle attaching the friendship metals on to a bomb that those jap bastards gave us to show their honor of peace with us. They hit us with a sucker punch but we hit them back with the Doolittle outfit and two mushroom clouds. Great flick, GOD BLESS those on our Doolittle Outfit, Jimmy himself, and those on the USS HORNET. Brave Brave Men.

I think if our gov't could convince us that every military action would benefit us by lowering the prices of goods we would probably take over the world!!

[Dogmeat1950]

no. we wouldn't

[happygocarts]

I used to think that too. Remember when gas was $4.00 a gallon. I could say that almost everyone i knew was saying" we should take that oil from iraq and use it here".

Its a mob mentality ya know.

Visceral patriotism + great leadership + personal courage = Woe and Defeat to our enemies.
