Entebbe was a counter-terrorist hostage-rescue mission, not a raid. Both St. Nazaire and the Doolittle Raid are proper raids. I voted 1. St Nazarene and 2. The Doolittle Raid. |

The movie title clearly states "Raid." |

What about the raids undertaken by the SAS and LRDG in North Africa? |

I never did see a definition of raid. What's the difference between a raid and an attack. The Doolittle raid was really an attack on the Japanese homeland. Why wasn't the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor included? |

I thought Dieppe too but that was kind of a "Cluster  wasn't it? |
