I think the Doolittle Raid is my favorite "action" in the Pacific. I remember reading a book many years ago as a youth all about it, and ever since I've had a soft spot for the operation. |

It was a very bold decision executed by very brave men.It seems to have rattled the Japanese High Command. |

Yep, my hats off to their bravery, ingenuity, and self-sacrifice. "He who dares wins". |

Film of the B-25s launching still gives me the chills. |

When that first bomber takes off and disappears below the deck of the ship, got me. Then seeing it rise up gaining altitude. Gripping!! |

IIRC, they replaced the ventral turret guns with broomsticks to scare off any presumptive attackers from that quarter. |
