I'd have a better chance in running into a Dodo Bird in the middle of rush hour, walking down the I-5 with two hookers in tow before I see a useful post from glock89- Ack-Ack

They tried a number of things as the war wound down. Most didn't go past the 'Well, let's see if it can be done.' stage.



P-51 fitted with arresting gear.



P-47s being catapulted off a CV (but no arresting gear for landing).

You know, if you want to fly the 25C so badly, you could sign up for this:

Because nothing says Doolittle more than a dangerous mission deep inside enemy lines. With no tail gun. Just sayin'.

Just remember one thing... Doolittle employed the B-25B... Neither the C H or hopefully in the future J

And the B-25B used in the raids weren't regular B-25Bs but modified to allow them to take off the carrier.
