B-25B Mitchell as flown by Jimmy Doolittle History:
On April 18, 1942, Jimmy Doolittle and 15 gallant crews
took off from the deck of the USS Hornet for an historic flight to
bomb Tokyo. The planes were parked on the Hornet's flight deck in
the order they were to leave. There was no room to rearrange them,
and their long, non-folding wings made it impossible to send them
below. The leading bomber, piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle,
had but a few hundred feet of deck run to reach flying speed, but
every subsequent one had a little more.
The B-25 bomber was named as a tribute to the crusading
Colonel, Billy Mitchell, for his visionary ideas on air power. On
April 18, 1942, Jimmy Doolittle flown the B25 and led a group of 16
B-25 bombers from the deck of the USS Hornet for an historic flight
to bomb Tokyo, Japan.
The bombing was one of the most audacious missions of World War
II. The plan for this confidential mission started several months
before, and Jimmy Doolittle was the one chosen to lead, organize and
plan the raid. The plan was to get within 300 or 400 miles of Japan,
bomb military and industrialized targets in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kobe
soon after dusk, and then fly on to a dawn landing at hidden
airfields on the coast of China. The twin engine B25 Mitchell bomber
was selected by Doolittle for the mission, indicated that it should
be possible to establish these aircraft from a carrier deck with
less than 500 feet of runway.
