It is amazing when one thinks about what that generation had to go through in firing the war. Am a big WW2 buff myself.
The Hornet played a key role in WW2, especially with the Doolittle Raid, which had a big mental impact on the Japanese. Even though very little damage, the mere thought of the home islands being attacked effected the high command and was partly responsible in them wanting to take Midway so soon.
I remember the movie on the Doolittle Raid with Spencer Tracy giving the night before speech and there is a dead Hornet's nest in the back corner of the room.
