April
18, 1942, 16 US Army B-25 Medium Bombers took off from the Navy Carrier
Hornet to attack the Japanese home islands. This was one of the most
remarkable military operations in history. It happened only four months
and eleven days after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The raid didn't do
much damage, but it showed Japan they were vulnerable and changed the
course of the war. If you haven't seen the movie Thirty Seconds Over
Tokyo, put the movie on your list.
