Famous WW2 Quote
"Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 16 Mar 1945

This is Doolittle Crew #2 (second to fly off Hornet). L to R they are: Lt Carl R Wildner (Navigator), Lt Travis Hoover (Pilot), Lt Richard E Miller (Bombardier), Lt William N Fitzhugh, (Co-Pilot), SSgt Douglas V Radney (Engineer/Gunner). All survived the mission after landing in a Chinese rice paddy. Capt Miller was killed in action in North Africa in 1943 but the other four survived the war.
