On April 18, 1942, 16 B-25 bombers took off from the USAAF HORNET, the first fully-loaded bombers ever to take off from an aircraft carrier. The raid was the United States' answer to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor four months earlier. The Raiders, Jimmy Doolittle's 80 volunteers, flew the B-25 Mitchell bombers on an air strike against Tokyo, and became the stuff of legends.
