Doolittle’s plane was the one that forgot to set the flaps for takeoff. It is the one that dropped below deck on take off and crawled into the sky. It was almost a very short flight. Ooops.

My boys had a picture taken with him from a few years back at an airshow. He was a genuinely kind person.

Wow. I started reading about the raid when I was in 7th grade. I later found out that one of my grandmother’s relatives was one of the co- pilots who were captured and imprisoned , one of the “missing” crews. He passed in 2015.
