This short newsreel, produced for the home market, shows the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown as it launches B-25 bomber aircraft on the Doolittle Raid against Tokyo, Japan. Features footage of practice runs made by the bomber crews and other training. It also contains footage of Capt. Marc Mitscher, Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, Admiral Halsey, Gen. Hap Arnold, raiders T.W. Lawson and H.F. Watson, and Madame Chaing Kai-shek. One interesting aspect of the film is that it utilizes footage from a Japanese air raid newsreel, that was shot months before the Doolittle Raid as part of a drill.
