Never forget April 18
« on: April 18, 2009, 12:18:13 PM »


“They are what it’s all about,” he said. “They don’t teach this stuff in school anymore. So it’s really nice to know that some kids still get it.”

Hancock emphasized the importance to recognize and continue the tradition of Bob Gray Day because as a native of Killeen, Gray was an important war hero who deserved proud recognition.

Two sites dedicated to the Doolittle Raiders:
http://www.doolittleraider.com/
http://www.doolittletokyoraiders.com/index.html


Last year, a group effort made this film possible:
4440, A8Nisky, Betty, Blue, Condor00, dtis30, DUGY, HB555, Hibbie2, Kermit, Strip, RDRTrash, WannaB and XSHAUNx.


This film is dedicated to those 80 men who flew in the Doolittle Raid on April 18, 1942.


Thank you to Fulmar for hosting movie at his site

From hat I've read, the Chinese paid a massiv eprce for this important mission.

Quote
The Chinese people who helped them, however, paid dearly for sheltering the Americans. The Japanese military began the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign to intimidate the Chinese from helping downed American airmen. The Japanese killed an estimated 250,000 civilians while searching for Doolittle's men.   the Imperial Japanese Army had also spread cholera, typhoid, plague and dysentry pathogens.
   

Ironic that they are now our biggest rival.
