Last week on The Military Channel, they had a 2 hour program about the Doolittle Raid with a couple of survivors, one of them was David Thatcher, who was played by Robert Walker. And they showed some photos I had never seen before of Ted Lawson not long after his leg was amputated. And about the raid itself, Jimmy Doolittle actually thought it was a total failure and that he would be court martialed and thrown out of the Air Corp. One of his men told him, "no way Colonel, they'll probably give you the Medal Of Honor". He was right. Doolittle did the MoH.
This has always been one of my favorite WW2 movies made during that time. I never tire of watching it and if I find out it's on, I watch it.
