And the lucky crowd.
North American B-25 Mitchell
The B-25 was made immortal on April 18, 1942, when it became the first United
States aircraft to bomb the Japanese mainland. Commanded by Lieutenant Colonel
James Doolittle, sixteen Mitchells took off from the aircraft carrier USS
Hornet, flew 800 miles (1287 km) to Japan, and attacked their targets. Most made
forced landings in China. They were the heaviest aircraft at the time to be
flown from a ship at sea.
