I was an AT-2 in the Navy, and had an aircrew billet in the squadron I use as my sign-on. I’m also a lover of history, and as such I believe the bravest naval aviators in our country’s history were the Army Air Corps crews Commanded by Jimmy Doolittle, who flew B-25’s off the USS Hornet in 1942 to bomb Tokyo and crash land or parachute in China (out of fuel).I’ll always remove my hat, and/or raise a glass to those men. I’ll always wonder if we as a nation are worthy of their legacy.

There’s a NAVY table of honor here:

May I add your details to the Navy table?
I have to repeat the Army table and get it functioning, but will plan on making any and all additions needed. :D
