Doolittle headed to the Pacific as head of the 8th Air Force.
Would the 8th be composed of B-17s or given B-29s?
Looks like the Mighty 8th would have flown B-29s

I don't know what the plan is. It seems like it would make sense to transition to B-29s, due to the distances involved and existing air base infrastructure. Doolittle would be the guy to supervise such a move. What a remarkable man he was. But they better get moving. It could take a few months for training and transport to the Pacific. I don't expect they will see action much earlier than the end of August.
