That's an interesting little p10 article about the Japanese air raid warning. I couldn't help but wonder if they got some whiff that the American's might be cooking up a surprise. Then I see you post excerpts about Doolittle. I wonder what those ground crews at McClellan were thinking about these B-25's with peculiar modifications?

Some time ago, I remember reading where in the leadup to the raid, Doolittle reassigned men perceived as "talkative" to the most remote, desolate bases possible.
