will certainly approve
your operation M-l.

Lieutenant-Colonel Doolittle
led the raid with a force of 16 B-25s
:05:15
and an all-volunteer crew of airmen.
:05:18
Most of the planes carried
500-pound demolition bombs
:05:22
and single incendiary clusters,
:05:24
which were dropped on oil stores,
factories and military sites in Tokyo.
:05:30
A few planes made minor strikes
on Kobe, Yokohama and Nagoya,
:05:34
with one bomb hitting
the Japanese carrier Ryuko.
:05:38
News of this raid has improved
American and allied morale,
:05:43
while at the same time constituting
a blow to Japanese prestige.
:05:56
Thanks, Sir.

At his press conference today,
President Roosevelt was asked:
:06:06
""Can you tell us, where did
those planes start from and go to?""
:06:13
He replied:
""Yes, the time has come to tell you.
:06:16
They came from our new
secret base at Shangri-la...""
:06:21
Well, my God, it's Captain Garth!
:06:23
I was expecting some junior officer.
This is an unexpected honor!
:06:28
Yeah, like hell it is, Joe!
:06:30
Admiral Nimitz sent me over to...
- To chew my ass off, huh?.
:06:35
Officially, I'm supposed to question
your estimate of Japanese intentions.
:06:40
Why so grim, Matt?. Doolittle's attack
should've thrilled you CinCPAC people.
:06:45
Not by a long shot.
That damn raid could boomerang on us.
:06:49
We only got 4 carriers
in the Pacific. We need to rebuild.
:06:53
Now the boss is afraid Yamamoto's
going to jump back at us. But where?.
:06:59
We got the latest intercepts here.
