Doolittle's Raid
Two of the operation's 16 B-25B bombers, parked on the flight deck of USS Hornet (CV-8), while en route to the mission launching point. The plane at right has tail No. 40-2282 and mission plane No. 4. During the raid, 2nd Lt. Everett W. Holstrom Jr., piloted the aircraft to targets in Tokyo. Note protective cover over its gun turret and wooden dummy guns mounted in its tail cone. The plane at left is warming up its engines, as was done periodically during the voyage. (U.S. Navy photo)
