Thank God we have this on record.
The interviews of the men was so wonderful.
When I was a teenager, I got to attend one of the reunion celebrations at an Air Show.  General Doolittle and all of the remaining men were there.  There was a "meet and greet" afterwards.  The men I spoke with, including the General, were just as humble as they are on this documentary.
I always thank our vets or military people when I see one.  Even bought a few a meal.
What we owe them and their families is more than we could ever repay.

It was 78 years ago today that the Doolitte Raid commence over Tokyo.  All the raiders are gone now.  Thank you all for what you did for this country.

Today commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Doolittle raid over Tokyo.  Only one of those heros survives today.

These guys are incredible Americans, thank you!!!!

10k views? should be 10 million

Thank you, thank you, thank you...all of you...for your loyalty and commitment to defending this country and stopping what the Empire of Japan was doing at the time.

Thank you gentlemen for your service and sacrifice...

Now in 2022, all 4 of these American Heroes have Gone West, Godspeed gentlemen.🇺🇸

I wish to thank the Doolitte Raiders for their service to our great nation .

What an amazing artifact. Thank you for preserving.

Much respect!!

God Bless them all !!

Never Forget

Jimmy Doolittle is my great great uncle who are you this is made the same year I was born

So many proud face looking at their heroes with love and admiration. And quite rightly so too, as these men were indeed remarkable. I think it's fair to say that what they achieved, as costly as it was, altered the course of the war.

Thanks for the tastes of freedom
My hero's........

12 years and only 36k views..... wish people had more interest in the sacrifices these men made for us

It,s an HONNOR  just to listen to theses guys .
I do have a question .  Why would all the planes take off from the same spot ? The only thing I can think of is ; , the timing of the swells , to the deck of the carrier

I would love to know if the Doolittle Raiders used maximum range extension procedures which would have saved the lives of these crew members and Chinese civilians. I spent a career learning to extend the range in twin-engine piston airplanes. If I were captain on one of these bombers, then, after the target had been bombed (weight reduced), and, when clear of the Japanese mainland, and, safe within the clouds, and, because of the early launch, when range became more important than speed, I would have "Zero-thrusted" the right engine. (The left engine running requires less rudder deflection, and, therefore creates less drag, and "zero thrust", rather than feathering, because the engine might be quickly needed – with fuel cross-fed). Basic aerodynamics tells us that it takes 4 times the power to double the speed of an airplane, so, an airplane with a cruising speed of 250 MPH would probably fly at about 150 MPH on one engine. Running on one engine would increase the time to the destination by about 40% but, would also increase the range by about 30%, which would have probably allowed the airplane to reach safe territory, or, at least ditch away from the Japanese infested coastline. I would need specific performance figures and distances required to compute exact figures, but, basic aerodynamic rules would still apply.
