[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1220349, member: 14668"] Another fact to remember; the Hornet was spotted by a Japanese patrol ship about 250 miles east of the planned launching point for the B-25's. With the element of surprise lost, they were forced to take off immediately, knowing full well that they did not have enough fuel to reach safe landing fields in China. It was basically a suicide mission and they knew it, but they went anyway. Talk about having big brass ones! [/QUOTE]
