THIS WAS THE TACTICAL BOMBER THAT THE ONE AND ONLY JIMMY DOLITTLE COMMANDED 16 B--25s TO FLY OFF THE DECK OF ONE OF OUR AIR CRAFT CARRIER TO BOMB THE CITY OF TOKYO AND SHOW THE JAPS THAT THEY WERE NOT OUT OF OUR REACH. THIS WAS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL TWIN ENGINE TACTICAL BOMBERS OF THE WAR, IN THE PACIFIC AND ELSE WHERE, IT PERFECT THE ART OF "SKIP BOMBING". AT A CERTAIN SPEED AND ALTITUED THE BOMBER WOULD DROP IT'S BOMBS AT A SHIP AT SEA AND IT WOULD SKIP IN SUCH A MANNER TOWARDS THE SHIP THAT IT WOULD LAND RIGHT ON THE SIDE OF THE SHIPS HULE AND EXPLODE, SINKING THE SHIP EVERY TIME. PLEASE ENJOY THIS MODEL AIR CRAFT AND GOOD LUCK HISTORYMAN08
