Those were some TOUGH guys, putting their lives on the line and getting to China in hope of escape. This type of bravery will probably not be tested like this again.

Got to ride in a B-25 a few years ago, was great. Don’t imagine anyone of those guys were afraid one bit, they were off on a fantastic life adventure, you could just get that feeling taking off in a 25!

They had to strip those planes down to their bare essentials even to get enough airspeed to take off. It was a matter of a few feet as I recall.
