you're about to see a clip from a film I made about Jimmy Doolittle.

The time is 1942 in 1942 America didn't look like was doing so well in World War Two against the Japanese.

And somebody in the military conceived the idea that if we could just bombed Japan, get them right on their home turf, we would scare them and the war could change.

So they brought in Jimmy Doolittle and the Doolittle Raiders.

The Raiders were in their teens and twenties young pilots.

They loved Jimmy Doolittle, and they believed that they could fly off the deck of an aircraft carrier and fly to Japan and bomb Tokyo and make that statement and then fly towards China and hopefully crash in China.

Many of you watching this probably know the story, but I got the chance to interview the Doolittle Raiders at a critical moment in their lives.

They really wanted to tell this story highly emotional, and when it's over, I'm gonna tell you what happened.

As a result, he was Jimmy Doolittle, boxing champ, Motorcycle racer.

Disasters were piling up for the allies in the Pacific.

In those days before intercontinental bombers, why not bomb Tokyo will be 25 from a carrier.

Reading books of Richard Help swimming the hell respond.

And to me, the raid was Here was a grand adventure and we all knew the name is a speed flyer.

Regular force troops were particularly impressed with him.

But anyway, Ski said that looked like a big good deal.

Um, it involves action against the enemy capital that has never been bombed.

And that was the first time we've met the old man.

He came in, we were all there and he flew in, and they took all of you know, 30 seconds.

Well, you just You were just hiss from them on.

From that moment on, he said something you're going to get killed And he said, Uh well, the essay question, How many of you are goingto be willing to go?

He started in the other end the line, and I was clear down at the end.

They said, I'll go so I didn't want to be the only card I said Out Go.

The president's order The bitter taste of war was returned to Japan.

We fashioned a daring scheme to have the Hornet launch a force of bombers and strike a Tokyo from the sea.

All the volunteers for this secret and hazardous job had been specially trained by Colonel Jimmy Doolittle.

Someone's asked Colonel Doolittle what they should do if they're hit over the target and I have to bail out or if they, uh, damaged.

And he said, I know what I would do and somebody said, Well, what is that?

And he said, I'm going to bail my crew out, and I'm going to take this airplane and dive it into the best military target.

I confined your plane let off way, Crewman cheered.

Is one plane after another scream down the way.

I looked at that deck and I said, My God, I can't believe it.

I was used to 1/4 of a mile takeoff be 25 loaded, and I looked at York and I said, How many of these did you do?

One, 80 men and 16 airplanes streaked toward Japan.

Not 450,000 because they had planned, but because they had been discovered 800 miles away flew on the deck towards the west.

Here airborne, off we go, and about an hour and 1/2 later, Corporal Maskey called on the intercom and said, Sir, we don't have enough gas, and I said, That's right.

Apparently there was no advance warning of the raid way experienced a little hostile action way.

Post targets right on the tree top, pulled up to about 1500 feet on dropped a bomb, 1500 people with the lowest altitude from which we could bomb without danger, damaging our own ship way should like to have remained around to see exactly what had happened.

This was impossible as we were in a hurry as the Raiders left Tokyo with a broad trail of flame and smoke in their wake.

The Japanese by divine right, guaranteed his people that Japan would never be attacked.

But with a single daring strike, a handful of American has made a mockery of his secret pledge.

A Tokyo Raiders headed for the China Coast looking for safety, their fuel impossibly low wage.

Just going along a few hours there on the Navigator says, Uh, hey, things were looking good.

We picked up a tailwind of 35 40 Knox that lasted for about six hours.

Well, they would have never made it with her.

So pretty soon he said, G Wiz, we're not going to swim but 100 miles in pretty 7 50 miles.

But I look pal a meter, and I said 3000 foot high and the pilot Pharaoh, Bill Farrell, said, uh, we're out of gas.

Japan had gained control of much of the Chinese coast.

As the planes flew over the dark, inhospitable terrain they searched for the radio Beacon was supposed to have led them to a safe landing field.

They had completely impregnated the coast.

What happened was the airplane flying are landing beacon, which we badly needed the home on.

And so when we began to plaintively call, turn on the beacon, there was no people went their separate ways.

We just went toe where we just closed toe as we could, where we thought we wanted to go.

As the planes ran out of fuel, each pilot ordered his crew to strap on their parachutes.

So you have nothing to compare your descend with.

And here I am, soaking wet about £120 in it than many that time.
