| Summary |
One hour over Tokyo. In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, Commander Jimmy Doolittle came up with a bold plan to get a measure of revenge on Japan while raising American morale. 80 airmen volunteered for the top-secret, one-way mission into enemy territory, which required launching army bombers from an aircraft carrier and attacking Tokyo. Here, the raid comes to life through the words of some of the survivors. Filmed at the 2001 reunion of the Doolittle Raiders, they talk about their legendary commander, their historic mission, the pact they made ... and the role of the goblets and cognac. |
