Starting with a B-25, working your way to a B-29, is scaling “up”.

In that case, yes. But correct me if I’m wrong but Doolittle’s raid involved a whole mess of planes with loads of bombs. It had to, to be at all meaningful. Which it wasn’t, really, but to make headlines like they wanted it had to do some damage. To my mind going from a run of planes with a torrent of ordnance to one single bomb doing everything by itself is scaling down.
