Only 2 of the Raiders remaining now. One Jimmy Doolittle's copilot, the other the mid-upper gunner/flight engineer from the Ruptured Duck, which was portrayed primarily in "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo"

Hard to believe it's been 73 years since the Doolittle Raid.
There's this barber I go to who's a WWII Veteran. In his shop he has a scale model of the USS Hornet (the suerstructure and a good size portion of the flight deck) of the Doolittle Raid. There's atleast 3 B-25's on the deck as well as numerous crewmen about (including Doolittle). He spent 7 years making the model (and a very impressive job he did).

Was hoping it would have been on TCM or someplace but no luck; still, the complete movie -albeit broken into several chapters - is available on youtube. Watch it. It blows away that retarded POS tacked onto the emo Pearl Harbor flik

I got to meet Ed Saylor, the engineer on the #15 plane, "TNT." The man removed one of his plane's engines while the Hornet was en route to the launch point and did depot-level maintenance on it using parts he fabricated in the carriers machine shop. This without any of the proper engine lifts, dollies, or other B-25 maintenance equipment; the 2000-pound engine was man-handled down to the hangar deck. The test flight was the mission, and they made it all the way to the Chinese coast when they ran out of fuel.

Awesome
These men truly were titans, giants whose deeds will remain immortal.

Thank you for the information. How time slips by and everything seems to be taken for granted.
