| "Early Launch" | B-25's on Deck - USS Hornet | $150.00 |
One of the most daring aviation exploits of the Second World War took place on the 18th of April 1942. Led by Lieutenant Colonel James H. "Jimmy" Doolittle, sixteen Army B-25's took off from the crowded deck of the USS Hornet and headed for their targets in Japan.
The bombers were to be launched late in the day on the 18th, close enough to Japan that they could continue east and land at emergency fields set up for them in China. Unfortunately, fate had other plans.
In Early Launch, Colonel Doolittle and his co-pilot, Lieutenant Richard E. Cole, who were the first to take off, discuss last minute instructions with Lieutenant (USN) Edgar Osborne who was to be Launch Officer for the take-off. Other Army personnel scramble to their planes while Navy deckhands man their assigned positions for launch.
