Some of the pictures in the movie were footage of the actual take off. In the real world the raid caused Japan to bring back aircraft squadrons from the then front to guard the homeland.

30 Seconds being made in 44, even the movie set 25’s were authentic, probably the crews were regular 25 crews.

The Hornet footage, especially of Doolittle’s taking off fantastic.

Someone once said they imagined those boys were freaked out at take off, I say No, they were peein in the their pants excited with the thought of being first to bomb Japan.
