No Glyphs, but otherwise, we're covered. I'm surprised they took off successfully with the weight of what they carried around all the time. Thanks Retain Mike.

The bombers were stripped of everything nonessential. The rear gun was even replaced with a broom handle. They revved the engines to max before the brakes were released. They went through a special training program to learn all the tricks to do it. They took a B-25 out to sea off Norfolk, tried it and found out it damn well worked!

Doolittle took off in the first bomber so every man would see for himself that it could be done.
