Bombers taking off an aircraft carrier for their UNBELIEVABLE mission is a story not to be missed. How could they survive?
“Short takeoff training
In order to train the B-25 bomber pilots how to take off the deck of the carrier, they practiced on a 500-foot airstrip at Eglin Field, Fla. It was the first time Army Air Force planes, which weren’t built for that purpose, would launch off an aircraft carrier. And it would be the first time they would be used in combat.
No need to practice landings
Because the bombers would have only enough fuel to get them to their mission, they needed a place to land and refuel. So the plan was to land in unoccupied areas of China.” http://www.militarytimes.com/article/...
