Hi, everyone -

Last night on PBS was a show about the Doolitle B-25 mission, so well done and insightful. I’m in Oregon, it’s been shown twice in the past few days, well worth looking out for it if your TV service has a guide channel.

Hmmm… I’ll have to check my On Demand channels.

Thanks for the heads up Patrick. I have to look for that tomorrow in my satellite channels.

I think there are only 2 or 3 of the raiders still around.

Right, there are two, Cole and Thatcher. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll have to track that down.

Thatcher the gunner off “Ruptured Duck”?

Crew 7 is the “Ruptured Duck”. Nice to see an NCO aircrew is one of the final survivors. IIRC, he was the only one to come out of the Duck’s landing without major injury. His luck still holds.[Y]

I’ve seen that show, very cool. Did you guys see that Academy has released a Doolittle B-25 in 1/48? Apparently, it is using the Accurate Miniatures molds. I’m gonna scoop one of those up soon.
