    April 18,1942,

    16 B-25 bombers took off from the USS Hornet and headed to Japan,the mission to bomb Japan industries.Not much damage was done but it was a morale boost for the US.What this proved to the Japanese was that they could be attacked.This set into motion the final plans to attack Midway.

    A Salute to these brave men who understood this might be a one way mission but went anyway.

    Japan also made laws after this raid that allied airmen would be executed if captured.

    TheBookie,

    Thank for you this important reminder. They all have their heavenly wings by now, unfortunately. May they rest in eternal peace.
