B-25 Devil Dog at 75th Doolittle Raid Anniversary  This morning Devil Dog took off with 10 more B-25s headed to the National Museum of the U. S. Air Force at Dayton, OH for tomorrow’s anniversary ceremony remembering the Doolittle Raid.  On 18 Apr 1942, 16 brave flight crews took off from the USS Hornet aircraft carrier in B-25 bombers to strike the Japanese mainland in a daring mission early in WWII.  Of the 80 men on the mission, only one still remains with us to celebrate 75th anniversary of their successful mission.
