Doolittle raid tomorrow (Sunday) -- please join us!
« on: April 24, 2010, 02:17:07 PM »


Join us tomorrow to commemorate the Doolittle Raid (Sunday, April 25, 6-8 pm Eastern time in Special Events II).

Starting with the devestating attack at Pearl Harbor, Japan went on to rout US forces wherever they were engaged.  To show that mainland Japan was not invincible and to help US morale at a time when progress in the war was bleak, Col. James Doolittle formulated a stealthy raid on Tokyo and other targets in Honshu using B-25's launched from the USS Hornet.

4440 and/or Sled will post details below of how the event will be run.

(We are a week late on the exact anniversary because of an issue we had with the terrain.)
