"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You win the war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country!"George Patton, 31 May 1944

This is Doolittle Crew #10 (10th to fly off Hornet). L to R they are: Lt Horace E “Sally” Crouch (Bombardier/Navigator), Lt Richard O Joyce (Pilot), Sgt George E Larkin (Engineer), Lt J Royden Stork (Co-Pilot), SSgt Edwin W Horton, Jr (Gunner). All survived the mission after parachuting into China. SSgt Larkin was killed in action in India in 1942 but the other four survived the war.
