B-25 twin engined WWII bomber: In April of 1942, Lt. Col. James H. &quot;Jimmy&quot; Doolittle, later Lt. General, led one of the most daring missions of the war flying the B-25. Only five months after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Lt. Col. Doolittle led 16 B-25 &quot;Mitchell&quot; bombers off the deck of the U. S. S. Hornet. The B-25s bombed Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe, and Nagoya. Lt. Col. Doolittle's &quot;Tokyo Raiders&quot; were successful in their mission.
