I remember they had a pilot with an original B-25 on one of the history type shows. He attempted to take off in the same distance but could not do it.

He said the reason was partly due to the speed of the carrier and also he said they had higher octane gas. He still said he was really impressed with them after trying to do it and failing.

The other surviving Doolittle Raider is David Thatcher.

Endless gratitude and long lives to them both.

A REAL American who made REAL history. Not like the cheap crap “history” Obama and his ‘RATS are always making.

I wonder if removal of the top turret would have reduced drag significantly enough?

I'm sure the machinists could have quickly popped the top turrets and riveted a sheet of aluminum over the holes in short order but probably no one on the Hornet knew what effect that would have on flight characteristics.
