Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a directive to attack Japan as soon as possible.1 Of the options presented the course of action decided upon would use the Army Air Force and the Navy. Their mission would be to deliver bombers modified to take off from carrier vessels within striking distance of Japan. Then the bombers would launch, fly to, and bomb the cities of Tokyo and Nagoya.2 This mission would come to be known as the Doolittle raid, named for Lieutenant Colonel James "Jimmy" Doolittle, who planned

the obsolete and under gunned Douglas Devastators torpedo planes. They had not received a lot of flight training in their ten months in the navy. Most members had never taken off of a carrier carrying a torpedo but just six weeks earlier they had watch Doolittle’s B-25 bombers take off the Hornet for the raid on Tokyo.

article was presented at the Western Decision Sciences Conference in Maui, Hawaii, in April 1994. Limitation The total number of integrated carriers which are in a position to provide onestop shopping for international logistics to US shippers is estimated to number less than 30 worldwide. The data obtained reflect the perceptions of ten of these carriers, yet they cannot provide the statistical and analytical comfort that a survey of a larger population would yield.

What if Army bombers could take off an aircraft carrier? Low tried his idea on Admiral King. King thought the idea had potential so he sent it on to Captain Donald Duncan to turn his plan into fact. This he did, and the Tokyo Raid became fact instead of fiction.      The

USS Midway Museum On September 24, 2016 I had the privilege of visiting the USS Midway Historical Museum. My friend Michelle, who is also a CBU student, accompanied me while we explored this fantastic site.
