I recently read a book on the Doolittle raid in conjunction with my WWII +70 Years project on this site. I was in awe of the courage and willingness to sacrifice shown by the crew members. But it never occurred to me that any of them would have survived to this late date.
Visit our thread next Wednesday the 18th to read the first reports of the raid to reach the American people. I’ll bet there were goose bumps across the fruited plain.

Well said, every last one of these men were courageous above and beyond. I believe it a miracle so few perished on the raid due to the odds and the chain of events.
I’m looking forward to reading the thread on Wednesday, thanks.
