Just four months after Pearl Harbor, the U.S. launched a bold plan: bomb Tokyo. No one had done it before. It meant launching B-25s from an aircraft carrier—something never attempted. The odds were grim. Fuel was short. Escape routes were uncertain. But on April 18, 1942, 80 men under Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle took off from the USS Hornet and shocked Japan. The damage was limited, but the message was clear:↳ “You hit us once. We will hit back harder.” Most crews crash-landed. Some were captured or killed. But their courage lit a fire that carried America through the darkest days of the war. #Military #WWII #DoolittleRaid
