I've watched most of the "Missions that Changed the War" Doolittle epis, and was surprised at how bad the maintenance was at MacClellan Field.

One of the officers, maybe even Dolittle, slammed them in the "customer service survey" when they were leaving.

Might explain why when one B-25 was being hoisted onto the deck, an engine fell off.
