Two things;the Doolittle Raiders were launched from Hornet.Enterprise was the escort .
Second tidbit, the 487th Bomb Squadron was known as the Dogface Squadron , and for a time had 13 original Bill Mauldin paintings on the noses of thir B-25s.
Nice to see the unsung mediums getting their recognition.
