The Final Mission in “Pearl Harbor” Was Real—And Almost Suicidal
The final mission in Pearl Harbor was not invented for Hollywood. On April 18, 1942, sixteen B-25 Mitchell bombers took off from the USS Hornet to strike Japan in one of the most dangerous missions of World War II. After being discovered by a Japanese patrol boat, Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle and his men were forced to launch hundreds of miles earlier than planned. The bombers could not land back on the carrier—and now many of them might not even have enough fuel to reach China. This is the true story of the Doolittle Raid: the volunteers, the impossible carrier takeoffs, the attack on Tokyo and the devastating consequences that followed. Historical recreations are used alongside genuine archival footage to help illustrate the events.
