Please join us in the Wardroom as Docent Steve Leavell gives a presentation about the Doolittle Raid.
This year marks the 84th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid. While the mission itself is well-documented, this presentation will focus on lesser-known aspects, including:
– The recovery of artifacts from crash sites in China.
– A detailed explanation of the B-25 that landed intact in the Soviet Union.
– The significance of Kermit Weeks’ efforts to restore the only known B-25B to flying status.
Come join us!
