Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

This was the first mission where B-25s were armed with Mark XIII torpedoes. Note the absence of tail shrouds or nose drag rings on the torpedoes.
