Watch it and remember that those guys were really more the rule than the exception in terms of stepping up and kicking some serious *ss. Luckily this is a continuing US Military tradition.

Anyway, for more history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doolittle_Raid

I've read two (translated) primary source books from Japan written around the time of the raid and it's hard to believe how much this raid freaked them out. It's not excessive to say that it changed the face of the war inside Japan.
