Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo was on TCM last night.
Great movie, AEMILIUS PAULUS. It took me a while to figure out the captain, played by Van Johnson, was the one that wrote the book and he really did lose his leg.
It was good to see again! Lots of B-25 film footage.
Being a VJ Day newby, I grew up hearing and reading all about Doolittle and the Raid. I feel like I knew all those guys.
In my book the best airplane ever built was the B-25. A few years ago I was privileged to get a ride on one at an air show. What a thrill! It was so easy to imagine being in one of the 25’s taking off that day in the Pacific on a most incredible adventure.
If I hit the Lotto, first thing I do is buy me a B-25!
