The Doolittle Tokyo Raid

Commissioned in November, 1941 and younger sister to both Yorktown and Enterprise, USS Hornet had a short, yet distinguished operational career. In early 1942, when the Japanese juggernaut seemed all but unstoppable, a plan was under development to stage a raid on the Japanese capital, Tokyo. A conventional carrier strike would have been suicide, but the Japanese High Command would never expect an attack by land-based aircraft. The plan called for 16 B-25B's to be launched from the deck of a carrier, attack their Japanese targets and then proceed to friendly territory on the Chinese mainland. The Hornet was chosen for this task, and launched "Doolittle Raiders" on April 18, 1942. This one event started a series of events culminating in the Battle of Midway. When Roosevelt was asked by reporters where the planes came from he said, "Shangri-La".
