[QUOTE="scratch, post: 1219294, member: 1674"] I always idolized these guys since I was a little kid. I read "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo", which was written by one of the pilots and later made into a movie. I used to build models of B-25 bombers and I had one of the Hornet with those 16 planes on its deck. That was an amazing feat to got those planes off the flight deck, they had to turn the ship straight into the wind to get enough lift to take off. The number of WW2 Vets are dwindling, these guys are in their nineties now, they deserve this honor. [/QUOTE]
