The year was 1942. The United States was still recovering from Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor and was officially in World War II. Just four months later, America made its first air strike on the Japanese archipelago in Tokyo and other places on Honshu, famously known as the Doolittle Raid. • The warbirds used to carry out the operation were 16 B-25 Mitchell medium bombers launched from a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. Today, April 18, we remember the day of that strike, the brave men who made it their mission, and the aircraft that carried them there. • #aircraft #airplane #avgeek #flying #warbird #WWII #USN #bomber #B25 • • Learn more about EAA: https://www.EAA.org • Buy tickets for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh: https://www.EAA.org/airventure • Connect with us on social: • Facebook: / eaa • Twitter: / eaa • Instagram: / eaa • TikTok: / eaa.oshkosh
