USS Hornet Launches Raid

The transcript describes a critical moment during a mission 800 miles from Japan, where a patrol boat is sighted, raising concerns about being detected. Despite the increased risk and distance, Doolittle remains determined to proceed with the bombing of Japan. The B-25 planes are prepared on the Hornet's deck, and the mission is executed. After the bombing, all planes are wrecked, and eight American fliers become prisoners, with some possibly tortured and murdered.
