I would like to see one of these leftists fly a B-24 off a Hornet- class carrier, drop their load in Tokyo, and crash land in China. Then I’m might just take them seriously.

They were B-25 Mitchell medium bombers. I hope they show tribute to “The Ruptured Duck” which was Doolittle’s plane.

The aircraft carrier Dolittle flew from was the Hornet.
The Hornet was one of three carriers that made up the Yorktown class.

...and also, get ejected through the windscreen of the bird, and have your leg amputated in a third world field hospital.
