[Airplane engines]
[b*mb whistling]
[The u.s. Air force hymn
playing]
[Intercom buzzes]
Yes.
Just a minute.
Your call,
colonel.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Hello.
Captain york, please.
You know, if this
thing works out,
It might give
our boys,
All the way from
bhutan to singapore,
A big lift,
and it may pull
A lot of japs back
to their islands.
It'll work out, general.
I'm sure it will.
Hello. Hello, york?
Doolittle. York, I want you
To get 24 b-25s
with volunteer crews
Down to eglin field
as soon as you can.
The job will take them
Out of the country
for about 3 months.
Tell them it's
a secret mission.
They won't know
where they're going
Until they get there.
That's right. Volunteers.
Tell them they're not
to talk to anybody.
That's an order.
I'll join you
in a few days.
Right.
Army 0-22-41
to eglin tower.
Three b-25s
request traffic
And landing
instructions.
Go ahead.
Radio: army 4-1,
the left-hand pattern.
Wind direction
north by northeast.
Land on runway number 3.
There's the field,
all right.
Boy, did you ever see
such a wide runway?
She's big, all right.
You could almost close
your eyes and get in.
But I'd give plenty to know
where we go from here.
Yeah, so would i.
Hey, don't do anything
till I get my camera.
How does she look
from the nose, clever?
Great.
Florida: palm trees,
Alligators,
bathing beauties.
Hey, thatcher,
Have a look
at the real country.
It's not as pretty
as billings, sir.
Did you keep
your cookies
This trip, thatcher?
Yes, sir. I had
a little trouble
Coming over
the mountains, but I hung on!
Radio: 0-22-41
in flight.
Wait a minute.
Go around, make
an echelon right,
Once over the field,
then break away.
Let's make it pretty.
Here's for luck.
Switches off.
5:25. Not bad time.
Yeah, we moved.
Better write that
left engine up.
She sounded
a little rough.
Boy, I got some
swell sh*ts, lawson.
You really made
a nice breakaway.
Gave me kind of
an artistic angle.
Someday, I'll do
a crash landing
So you can
get a real movie.
Thatcher says
that florida
Can't compare
to billings.
Trouble with thatcher
is he thinks that any place
With more than
300 people is overcrowded.
According to
the last census, sir,
Billings has
a population of 16,380.
16,000! Oh, no,
thatcher.
You must be
thinking
Of greater
billings.
No, he's right,
clever.
They count the cows
up in that country.
Sorry, sir.
Yes?
Cameras aren't
allowed on the field.
What?
That's right, sir.
A lot of secret work
goes on here,
And they're very
strict about it.
I can't see anything
secret from here.
I'll have to report you
To the commanding
officer, sir.
Those are my orders.
Ok, ok.
H-hey, look.
Brick holstrom's
still with us.
We were afraid
You wouldn't get that
turkey in till tomorrow.
Why, that baby
flies so pretty,
We floated
the last 200 miles.
[Laughing]
You guys ready?
Yeah.
Come on, brick.
Oh, thatcher,
I'll be right back
To tell you where
your quarters are.
Yes, sir.
Come on, davey.
You've got an idea.
What's the dope?
Where do we go
from here?
I already
told you.
All he said was
it would
Take us out
of the country,
We'd be gone
about 3 months,
And it would
be dangerous.
Look, I got the real
dope from joe randall.
He says
a foreign patrol squad
Has to guard the canal.
What's dangerous about
canal patrol?
Well, what are
we worrying about?
Ski'll give us all the dope
when we check in anyhow.
3 Ships in, sir. Holstrom,
lawson, and myself.
Good.
These ships ok?
Yes, sir.
Sit down.
Where are
we staying, ski?
The government's leased
a hotel near here.
They call it
"the officers' club."
The men whose wives are
coming can stay there.
The other officers'
quarters
Are in barracks 5.
Is emmy coming down?
She'll be here
in a couple of days.
Where will
I put thatcher, ski?
The enlisted men
Are assigned
to barracks 12.
Ok.
Uh, anything
else?
Nope. At least not
until tomorrow morning.
Well, we'll
be seeing you.
Say, ski, the guys are all
crazy to know what's up.
You know as much
about it as I do.
We may be given
More information
in the morning.
Mm-hmm.
["Chattanooga choo choo"
playing]
Paul, you come in.
Ha ha!
Whoa!
Well,
beat me, daddy!
Look who's coming.
Well, well, well!
Plant me now
and dig me later!
If it
isn't the pride
Of randolph field.
How are you, boy?
Great, shorty.
The minute we heard
that razzmatazz,
We knew you must be
somewhere around.
You volunteer
for this deal, too?
Sure enough.
They had me stationed
up in minneapolis--
Coldest country
I ever did see!
I'd have volunteered
for anything
To get
back in the sunshine.
Where you been?
Columbia, south carolina.
Bob!
Hello, ted.
You guys know
each other?
Well, we just went
through kelly
Together,
that's all.
Sure, bob was bridesmaid
at my wedding.
Wedding?! Nobody tells
me anything anymore!
How long you been balled
up and chained down?
6 Months in...
In 5 more days.
Well,
blow my foot off!
Skin me again, boy!
Hey, davey,
What are you
doing down here?
Brick.
Hi, don.
I thought you were
hunting subs.
Was. Got me one, too.
You in on this deal?
Sure.
I've got a swell crew,
And it looked like it
was going to be something.
So, why not?
Eh, any ideas what
we might be up to?
Oh, just a hunch.
Yeah?
Well, give.
South seas.
Knock ourselves off
a few meatballs.
Yeah?
["Deep in the heart of texas"
playing]
Three.
Honest man.
Dealer takes two.
You know,
I just got an idea.
About what?
About where
we might be going.
The way it looks to--
Oh, that's not right.
Forget it.
Sets two.
I got
an idea, too.
Yeah?
Uh-huh.
I've got an idea
You're pretty
much of a dope
To have come in
On this deal
in the first place.
What kind
of crack is that?
Oh, I don't know.
You're married,
You've got
a swell girl...
I would have never
stuck my neck out
If I were
in your boots.
Aw, go away.
You say two?
Mm-hmm.
And up two.
*...all the live-long day...*
Ooh, those guys
are off again.
* The eyes of texas
are upon you *
* You cannot get away *
Shorty: mckay,
stand up, won't you?
Who do you
think you are?
*...at night
and early in the morn...*
Have you ever carried
A navigator in your
ship before, spike?
Uh-uh.
Neither have i, until
I volunteered for this job.
We're going to see
some fancy stuff,
All right. I kind of
got a feeling--
Shorty:
sh**t me for a polecat!
Do I see two
red-blooded citizens
Lying on their backsides
While the texas anthem
is being rendered?
On your feet, men.
What are you beefing
about, shorty?
You're
from virginia.
That's right, shotcat,
but my pal here,
He's from texas, and he
takes offense easy...
Hello, joe.
Hello, jase.
Got some news.
Hey, you guys.
Shut up!
What's up?
Joe: quiet, fellas.
Listen.
Jimmy doolittle's
down here,
And he's a lieutenant
colonel now.
[Men murmuring]
Shorty:
jimmy doolittle!
A southern boy from
southern california.
Let's have
"eyes of texas"
For lt. Col.
Jimmy doolittle.
* The eyes of texas
are upon you... *
Officer: attention!
Gentlemen,
lt. Col. Doolittle.
As you were.
You men are here because
you volunteered.
You have been told
it's a dangerous mission.
I can't tell you
any more than that now,
But I want to emphasize
the danger.
The most important thing
at the moment is secrecy.
I don't want you
to even tell your wives
What you see down here.
And if you think you've
guessed where you're going
You're probably wrong,
But don't even talk
about your guess.
If the slightest word about
this mission gets around,
You will endanger
not only your own lives,
But the lives of
thousands of other men.
Now, I want to ask
you a question.
Has anybody tried to talk
to you about this?
Good.
If anybody on the field
or off the field
Tries to engage you
in conversation
As to why you're here,
No matter how innocently,
I want you to get his name
and give it to me,
And I'll turn it over
to the fbi.
[Door opens]
This is going to be
the toughest training
You've ever had.
You will have the same crew
all the way through,
And the same ship,
And the man or the ship
that fails will be dropped.
You're going to do
things with a b-25
You thought were impossible.
Now, if any of you
have any doubts,
I'd like you to drop out,
right now,
And I promise you
That no one will ever
think the worse of you.
If you have
wives or children
Or any other considerations
That might get on your
nerves in a crisis,
It's perfectly all right.
As a matter of fact,
it's your duty to drop out.
Very well.
We'll have these talks
As often as possible.
That's all.
Officer: we're going up
this morning
For an orientation flight.
There are
4 auxiliary fields:
1, 2, 3, 4.
Line them up
and locate them all.
We don't know which
we're going to use
For our confidential
experiments,
So familiarize yourselves
with all of them.
Look over the countryside,
And we'll meet here again
at 3:30 this afternoon.
Are there any questions?
Sir, the plugs are being
changed in my engines.
To save time, may I
go along in jones' ship?
Right, smith.
All right, you can go
to your ships now.
Looks to me like it's
going to be a long time
Before you swing down
Main street of billings
again, thatcher.
In billings, sir, the main
street is minnesota avenue.
[Airplane]
You know, that guy
really means business.
He had me sweating
a little.
Yeah, me too.
Lt. Lawson?
Yes.
Someone to see you in front
of the px at jay street, sir.
Thanks.
I wonder who would--
I'll be right back.
[Car horn beeps]
Ellen!
Where did you
come from?
I drove to carolina
to surprise you,
Then they told me
you're down here.
Well.
Well, how are you?
I'm just fine, thank you,
and how are you bearing up?
Oh, great. You look
just the same.
Of course I do.
You can't expect
any change this soon.
Huh?
[Laughing]
What's the joke?
Nothing,
except you're so funny.
Tell me, honey,
were you surprised?
Oh, I couldn't
believe my eyes!
Hey, let me buy you a drink.
Gee, I'm glad to see you.
Ha ha ha!
[Wolf whistles]
Come on, let's
go around here.
[Wolf whistles]
Tell me, honey,
how come you're so cute?
I had to be if
I were going to get
Such a good-looking
fella.
You know,
There's a lot of things
I want to talk over with you.
Go ahead.
Were you--were you
really surprised?
Well, no. Not exactly.
You know, you go into
something like this
With your eyes open,
And naturally, you've got
to take your chances.
I see.
Isn't that kind of
a cold-blooded way
To look at it?
Oh, now, now,
don't get mad.
You've got to be
cold-blooded about it.
This is
the most important thing
That's ever
happened to me.
What about me?
You're in on it, too.
That's why
I want to talk it over.
That's very generous.
Go on, ted.
Well, in the first place,
we've got to keep it a secret.
I don't want you
to tell a soul.
You're not--i mean,
you don't wish
It hadn't happened,
do you?
Oh, no, of course not,
But it's a military secret.
I've got my orders.
A military secr--
Say, what are
you talking about?
This job
I volunteered for.
Didn't you get my letter?
No. Didn't
you get mine?
No.
Oh! Ha ha ha!
I suppose it's
very funny, but...
Hey, lawson.
Ted lawson.
Here.
What are you
hiding out--
Ellen, when did
you get here?
5 Minutes ago.
How's
my bridesmaid?
Great. Only I'm going to
have to break this up.
Doolittle came out
to watch us take off.
Ok. I'll see
you for dinner.
There's a hotel about a mile
and a half down the road.
I haven't seen it yet,
But they tell me
you can't miss it.
I'll find it.
I'm sorry to have
to rush off like this.
Oh, uh...
Don't forget dinner.
Oh! Say,
Did anybody pick up
a letter for me?
Uh, yes, sir.
I did this morning.
I forgot all about it.
Well, bring it up.
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry, sir.
Ok. Thanks.
Take over, will
you, davenport?
Sure.
Hey! I'm going
to have a baby!
Hey, it's from
ellen!
She's going to
be--i mean,
I'm going
to be a father!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
* Rock-a-bye, baby
on the tree top *
* When the wind blows,
the cradle will rock *
* When the bough breaks,
the cradle will fall *
* And down
will come baby... *
[Unzips jacket]
Hello, flier.
Oh, I'm sorry
I woke you up.
I wasn't sleeping, really.
I was just dozing
and--thinking.
I'm sorry I didn't
get back for dinner.
We had a lot of
checking to do.
You must have thought
I was an awful dope
this morning,
But I didn't get your
letter until later
So I didn't know.
I know.
Sit down.
I, uh...i think it's
swell about the baby.
I knew you would.
I wasn't a bit worried.
You know, it's
going to seem funny.
I don't care whether
it's a boy or a girl,
Not that much.
I just want you
to be ok.
It's pretty serious.
[Giggles]
Well, what's so funny?
I was just thinking.
Here you're getting
Ready to go off on
something really tough,
And you're
worrying about me.
Oh, if I were
in your spot,
I'd be scared
to death,
But I guess
I am anyhow.
Purely routine stuff,
flier.
The kind of job
every girl takes on
Once or twice in her life.
Why don't you lie down?
You know, ellen,
I'm kind of glad
I got you.
Uh-huh. I guess that's
What I was thinking
about in my sleep.
It almost frightened me.
It seemed that
I was thinking--
What if I'd never met him?
Well, for one thing,
you wouldn't be
Traipsing around
the country
From one airfield
to another
Trying
to catch up with me.
And for another,
You wouldn't be
having a baby
Right in
the middle of a w*r.
Oh, no,
it wasn't that.
I was thinking that
if I hadn't met you--
I'd never felt
really close to anybody.
Never in my whole life.
Married 6 months,
And together less
than two weeks.
That's not being
as close as I figure.
Don't you see, ted?
That's just it.
If people can be close
When they're far away
from each other,
Well, that's what
it should be.
Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.
Cuddle me.
Ha! I was thinking
about last christmas
And the tree we set out
in that portland auto court.
Wasn't it
an awful little room?
Ha ha! Yeah.
And the christmas dinner
we were planning on,
And then you ran
out of gas
And landed in the mud
up in avoca.
Christmas eve
and christmas
Were all over before
I saw you again.
Yeah, that was tough,
But I got a scarf
out of it, anyhow.
Well, it wasn't exactly
as you planned it.
It was our
first christmas,
And somewhere way off--
it didn't matter where--
I knew I had you.
Oh, ted. It was the nicest
christmas of my life.
You were born to marry
a flier, ellen.
I knew that the minute
I first saw you.
As a matter of fact,
That's why
I married you.
You know, i--i've got
a confession to make.
What?
The truth is,
you didn't marry me.
I married you.
Oh, you did, eh?
Uh-huh. First time
I saw you in the library
At l.a.c.c.,
I said to myself,
Uh-oh, that's for me,
and from then on
Clear up till the night
we got the judge out of bed
In that little idaho town.
Nothing was
an accident, ted.
I--i planned it that way.
You think you're pretty
smart, don't you?
I'm not sure whether
I do or not.
You see, you didn't
put up much of a fight.
I suppose you figured
on that baby, too.
That's something
you'll never know, flier.
You'll
never know.
Ha ha ha!
[Engine running]
Boys are working late
these nights.
Yes.
Do you have any idea
how long you'll be gone?
Uh-uh.
But as soon as this
job is over,
I'm going
to ask for a leave.
Two, maybe 3 weeks.
We'll have that
honeymoon
You're
always talking about.
Yes, just the three
of us.
Ha ha ha!
Ted?
Mm-hmm?
I--i do hope I don't
get big and fat,
Like that lady in chicago.
I want each one of you
To know something
about the other man's job.
The pilots will practice
every job on the plane.
Navigators will learn
the work of bombardiers
And so forth.
That's in case any
of you get shot up.
There's one thing more.
It is inevitable that some
of your planes are going
To fall into the hands
of the enemy.
For this reason,
I have ordered
Your norton b*mb
sights removed.
Captain greening
has designed a sight
Which will be
perfect for our job.
If there are no questions,
I'll ask captain york
to take over.
Just like I said.
We patrol off brazil.
Yeah, but what about
Taking the norton
b*mb sight out?
There's no chance
Of falling into
the hands enemy
If you're hunting subs.
I hadn't thought
of that.
That doolittle's
a cheerful cuss, isn't he?
Just in case any
of us are shot up.
A bundle
of sunshine.
Oh, it's ted.
It's ted!
George used to buzz me
When we were
first married.
He doesn't do it
anymore.
They're
not supposed to.
I wonder if
he still loves me.
I wouldn't worry
about that.
Every time ski
gets a new ship,
He has
a terrible
Love affair
with it. But he
Always comes
back to me.
Especially when
he's hungry.
Just think, they'll
be gone 3 months.
I think I'll get a job
in a defense factory.
I couldn't stand just
sitting around
Some little
apartment and waiting.
What are you going
to do, ellen?
Oh, I'm just going to sit
around and...have a baby.
A baby!
A baby!
Ellen, why didn't
you tell us?
I don't know.
I guess I just never
thought of a way till now.
As it turns out, it wasn't
hard to tell at all.
Well, I'm going
to have one, too.
What?
Really?
Well, gee, I think
it's wonderful.
George and I have
talked about it...
Well, with him away
and all,
I--i guess
I'm just too scared.
I thought I would be,
too, but...
Well, ted and I figured
that everything
Since pearl harbor's just
been so much velvet...
And then I guessed that if
anything should happen to him--
Only I know nothing will--
I'd have the baby,
And that would be a little
bit of ted still living.
I sometimes wonder
how we'll feel
When it's all over.
Just think,
Being able
to settle down
In a little
house somewhere
And raise your
children and never
Be in doubt about
anything.
We'll probably have
exactly the same doubts
That we have right now.
For example,
Will he or will he not
be home for dinner?
Doolittle: we're
about to enter
The most secret
part of our training.
This field is patrolled
on all sides
So no one can disturb you
at your work.
Gentlemen, this is
lt. Miller of the navy.
He's going to instruct you
in takeoffs.
Instead of the normal
b-25 takeoff,
In 1,500 feet
at 90 miles an hour,
He's going to show you
how to do it
With a full load
of bombs and gas
In 500 feet
at 50 miles an hour.
You will attempt no short
takeoffs from eglin field
Where people can see you.
Lt. Miller will also
Give you a few short talks
on naval etiquette.
Now, if this gives you any
hints as to your destination
Or as to what kind of work
you're going to do,
Don't even discuss it
among yourselves.
I'll ask lt. Miller
to take over now.
Miller: gentlemen,
those flags out there
Are at 100...
200...
300...
400...
And 500 feet
from the starting line.
The line down the center
of the field
Is to guide
you in your takeoff.
The kind of work
you're going to do
Won't permit any deviations.
Now, the whole idea
is to get up full power
Before you
release your brakes,
Then start at maximum r.p.m.,
Manifold pressure,
And with your wing flaps
all the way down.
You'll have to
rev your motors
Until you think
they're going to burn up,
And then, when they reach
the right pitch--
And that's a matter
of sound and feel
More than instruments--
Release your brakes
and hunt for heaven.
I don't expect any of you
to do it the first time.
Gray.
Yes, sir?
Suppose you and manch
try it first.
The rest of us
will stay on the ground
And watch you take off
and check the wind.
Yes, sir.
I think at first
we can learn as much
By watching trial runs
as by actually flying the ships.
So let's all line up over here
and see how he does.
Miller: what kind
of surface winds, ski?
8 Miles an hour.
He didn't have his engines
revved up enough.
Lawson, you go next.
Now remember,
For our purposes,
if you get your wheels
A foot off the ground,
that's good enough.
You don't need height,
but you've got to get
Your wheels off before
you hit the last flag.
A little later we'll try
retracting the wheels
At around 450 feet
And relying on your motors
to float the ship.
Don't try that just yet,
though.
Lawson: right, sir.
Now, grab the column
and pull her
Until you feel the inside
of your backbone.
Yes, sir.
Did you ever take off
a b-25 in 500 feet, sir?
No, but
you men will.
Don't worry
about it.
Watch lawson there.
You'll have to
rev your motors
At least that high,
maybe higher.
[Screech]
About 700 feet.
Burned his tail skid.
Didn't pull his wheels
up soon enough.
Brother, that takeoff
was strictly on the cob.
That airplane of youse
Looked exactly like
a ruptured duck.
How do you like this guy?
He takes off like
an old lady in a high wind,
And then he's got the nerve
to talk about a real ship.
It's lucky you didn't
have a muddy field,
Or you'd still be there.
If I were you,
I'd worry about
That turkey you and gray
are pushing around the sky.
The ruptured duck
will get along ok.
Oh, I'm insulted.
Come on, fellas.
That won't take long
to fix, sir.
Ruptured duck.
Ted.
Mm-hmm.
Don't you think linda's
a good name, if it's a girl?
Huh?
Oh, yes, yes.
It's fine.
Maybe nichola.
Nichola.
That has a nice sound,
don't you think?
What's that?
Oh, yes.
Look, honey,
We don't have to decide
that right now, do we?
No.
Ted.
Mm-hmm.
He wasn't badly hurt,
was he?
Who?
Johnny adams.
How'd you hear
about johnny?
Those things get around.
He wasn't hurt, was he?
Of course not.
I don't know how those
things get started.
Every time a guy does
a nose-over on this field,
It's a crackup.
Ted...
You've been working
ever since dinner.
Come on.
Let's get some air.
It's a deal.
Mm. Nice.
Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry we haven't
Had more time
together, ellen.
We can spare a little.
We've got all the rest
of our lives.
That's right.
Is something
blooming?
It smells good,
doesn't it?
Ted.
What?
Please don't worry
about anything.
Oh, I'm not
worrying.
I'm just working,
that's all.
You know, this,
uh...this is
Going to be
quite a deal.
You're not worried
about the deal.
You're worried because
you've got a wife,
And that's wrong, ted.
Say, bob gray hasn't
Been trying to scare
you, has he?
Of course not.
Ok. Because there's
Nothing to worry
about. Nothing.
Silly. As if
I didn't know that.
Besides, if anything did
happen, you've got
All that
government insurance.
That'll take care
of you and the baby
For a long while.
Oh, what am I
talking about?
Nothing's going to
happen anyhow.
Ted...
Look at me.
That baby and i--
We won't ever need
anything but you.
We mustn't either of us
be scared about it, ted,
Because the baby--
The baby's why I know
you're coming back to us.
[Cheering]
We'd better
make this one,
Or shorty will
never let us hear
The last of it.
Yeah.
Hear those engines?
Like music. Ha ha!

Come on, you
hopped-up bus drivers!
It's been 10 weeks' work
and one night's fun.
Let's go!
I got my flaps up,
brother.
Heat it up there, smitty boy.
Steam and sizzle.
Where you're going,
No one's going
to hold you tight.
Hey there, doc, don't you
know how to dance?
When they start picking flak
out of your feet,
You'll wish you put them
to better use.
I'm a doctor,
Not a jitterbug,
shorty.

Hey, what gives?
Shorty's
throwing a party.
Party? What for?
Somebody said he's celebrating
texas constitution day.
Texas constitution day?
Say, I'm going to
sample this.
* Reminds me of *
* The one I love *
* Deep in the heart of texas *
Man: ya-hoo!
* The stars at night *

Grab your gal, lawson!
Don't you know
It's sam houston's
birthday?
Sam houston? For a guy
that never saw texas,
That manch is really sold.
Hi, lawson.
Hi! How'd this riot
get started?
It's texas admission day,
And that ain't
no riot, mister.
That's a full-fledged w*r.
Seen ellen?
I've seen everybody.
* Reminds me of *
* The one I love *
* Deep in the heart of texas *
[Cheering]
Hello, flier.
My dance?
All of them, my boy--
every dance
From now on out,
including the last one.
* I love you *
* I love you,
I love you *
* Sweetheart

And I love you, ski.
I love you. I love
you. I love you.
* You know that I'll always
love you this way *
* I love you *
* I love you, I love... *
You know,
it's a funny thing.
That lawson used to
be about as graceful
As a texas steer.
Now look at him.
Maybe the girl's got
something to do with it.
You said it
that time, clever.
* It seems *
* Sweetheart of all... *
You know,
there's something
I mean to
tell you more often,
But I never seem
to get the chance.
What is it?
Just that
I love you.
I got a letter from
your mother this morning.
Forgot to tell you.
She said to take
good care of you.
How am I doing?
Better than mother
ever dreamed of.
* There's a long, long trail

[Telephone rings]
[Ring]
Ted.
Hmm.
Telephone's
ringing.
Hmm?
Telephone, ted.
Oh, sure.
[Ring]
[Ring]
Ted: yeah.
Right now?!
Ok. Ok.
Ok.
What was it?
Oh, just another
night call.
But what a night!
I'm sorry.
What time is it?
3:10.
Ohh.
Hung over, maybe,
a little?
Oh, just a headache.
I'm not used to
party life.
Poor baby.
You go to sleep.
I'll be back
by breakfast time.
And I'm so sleepy.
Good night, darling...
Or rather, good morning.
Boy, if I ever
get a leave,
I'm going to sleep
for 6 days solid.
I wonder what this is.
Well, men, your ships
are all serviced,
Gassed, and ready to go.
You will take off
in shifts,
The first shift taking off
in 45 minutes.
Captain york will give you
your clearances.
Now, there's one thing
That must be
thoroughly understood.
After you take off
this morning,
You are to see no one,
Speak to no one,
telephone no one,
Not even your wife.
There are no exceptions.
Continue your
gas consumption test
To your destination.
Now, the work
you will be asked to do
Will require a little
low-altitude flying,
So hedgehopping on this trip
is perfectly ok.
Only bear in mind that cowboys
wear pretty tall hats,
So watch your step, men.
That's all.
I...
I think you're very
well-prepared
For what you
volunteered to do,
And I want to thank you
for a lot of good hard work.
I'll see you in a few days.
Good luck.
I hope I get a chance
to tell ellen good-bye.
Yeah, you will.
Your destination
is alameda field.
Take the southern route.
Refuel at san antonio
and march.
As your names are called,
you can start.
First flight:
Holstrom, jones, lawson.
Second flight...
[Airplane engine starting]
Ted.
Well, this is it,
honey. We're off.
How soon?
Just got time to pack.
Where's my b-4 bag?
In the closet.
I'll get it.
Good.
Socks.
Shirts.
Ted: my ties
in the closet?
Yes. I have them.
Good.
[Glass shatters]
Ted: wow!
Don't go in there
in your bare feet.
I broke a glass.
All right. You forgot
your toothbrush.
Oh, doggone it.
Have we got
everything?
I think so.
Swell.
Well...
Be a good girl.
Take good care
of that baby.
I will, ted.
Yourself, too.
Oh, ted,
i...i'm going to
Write you a letter
every day you're gone.
I know they won't
deliver them.
I won't even mail them,
But I'm going to write
just the same.
That way we'll
kind of be in touch.
That way
we'll feel close.
Sure.
Good-bye.
Bye, flier.
Tell me, honey,
how come you're so cute?
I had to be
if I was going to
Get such
a good-looking fella.
I'll be back.
[Mouthing]
[Train whistles]
Hey! The bay bridge--
it's off to our right.
The bay bridge--it's
off to our right!
Mcclure:
the bay bridge!
How about flying
under it?
But why?
So I can get
some pictures--
You know, sh**ting up
at the superstructure.
Come on, lawson.
You want to?
Sure, go ahead,
if it will make him happy.
Thanks!
Ted: I hope there are no cables
hanging under that span.
Here we go!
Uh-oh.
Let's take a turn
and do it again.
I forgot
to put film in.
We're due at the field.
Forget it.
Aw, I may never get
another crack at it.
Davenport: hey, look.
Mcclure,
take a look down there.
It's a carrier.
Davenport: yeah,
and look at her deck.
B-25s.
Holy smoke.
Then this is it.
Kind of small,
isn't she?
Pilot
to bombardier.
Pilot to gunner.
Pilot to gunner.
Thatcher! Thatcher!
It's dead again.
We'd better report it to
doolittle when we get in.
Yeah--that left engine
along with it.
Still seem a little
rough to you?
I can't tell anymore.
Is everything ok
on your ship?
Why, uh...
Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
Taxi over to the edge
of the carrier's wharf.
They'll take care
of you there.
Yes, sir.
They don't even wait
till a fella gets out!
All navy guys
are cocky.
Miller's
a navy guy.
Well, miller isn't
exactly navy.
He's a pilot.
Hey, spike!
Spike.
Spike, what's
the matter?
I put in a beef
about my fuel pump.
Doolittle told me
to take her to the hangar.
Then you're
not going?
No. There's nothing
really wrong with that plane.
It's the best ship
in this squad.
Boy, that's rough.
And I nearly told him
about our interphone.
You would have been
a cooked goose.
I think, sir, I'll go
and watch those navy guys.
They might bang her up
or something.
That's a good idea.
How do you
like that?
[Whistle]
They're gonna break
the duck's back, sure.
How did we get
in the clutches
Of these navy guys, anyhow?
[Whistle]
Boy, that's
an awful big ship.
Yeah.
Let's take a look
at her.
So long, spike.
So long, spike.
Be seeing you,
spike.
Good-bye, fellas.
Lieutenant lawson
reporting aboard, sir.
Beninger, take
lieutenant lawson to...
306, Sir.
306.
This way, sir.
See you guys
later.
Lieutenant mcclure
reporting aboard, sir.
These are your
quarters, sir.
Mr. White
and mr. Faulkner
Are on shore leave.
Thank you.
Are you sure you'll be
able to find your way
Back up
to the deck, sir?
Oh, sure. Thanks.
[Whistling]
What are you doing
down here?
Oh, just looking around.
What are you doing here?
Just looking around.
Ha ha ha ha!
Are you lost, too?
Am I lost? I'm
trapped like a rat.
I've been walking
for miles.
This is the biggest
Cockeyed ship
I've ever seen.
Yeah, and I wish the deck
was twice as big.
P.a.: The smoking lamp is out.
Smoking lamp is out.
Sir, "smoking lamp
is out" means
No smoking anywhere
on the ship.
Ok.
Why is that?
Because they're
refueling, sir.
They'll let us know
When they're
through.
Halt.
Well, you guys
finally got on, huh?
Yeah. We've just been
looking the tub over.
How are your
quarters?
Perfect--nice room
with two bunks and a cot.
A cot? Ha!
Follow me, brothers.
I'm going to show
you real quarters--
And I mean quarters.
Hats. Hats.
[Ahem]
Well,
we have guests!
What's the idea
of bringing people up here
From the tenement district?
[Laughter]
This is jocularly known
as the admirals' cabin.
Looks like you guys are going
to have to start bathing.
This isn't all.
There's
something else.
Follow me.
We'll be glad to.
Oops.
Careful of the rugs,
please.
Now, just inside,
gentlemen, is something
To really feast
your peepers on.
First guy turns in
after dinner
Gets this bed
for the trip.
Hmm. You know who
that'll be. Enter.
What dirty lowlife...
Come out of there,
you boll weevil!
Well, feed me corn
and watch me crow!
How did all this
scum get in?
And me in
an army cot.
That's where he'll end up
before the night's over.
Let's get out of here.
Oh, lieutenant, when you
guys go down to dinner,
Would you mind bringing back
a roast beef sandwich, rare?
And a piece of huckleberry
pie, lieutenant! Ha ha!
[Foghorn blows]
Well, you still glad
you came along?
Sure. Aren't you?
I've got a funny feeling
about this job.
Yeah?
Uh-huh.
I think maybe it
isn't going to be
As much of a cinch
as we figured on.
Yeah, I've been
thinking the same thing.
Well, my ship's
over there.
I think I'll go
take a look at her.
The duck's up ahead.
I'll see you in the morning.
Good night.
Lawson:
good night.
Who's that?
That you, thatcher?
Oh, yes, sir.
Oh, forget it,
thatcher.
Got her pretty well
lashed down, haven't they?
Yes, sir.
They did a good job.
I was kind of
worried about her,
So I thought I'd better
come up and have a look.
You lonesome?
Why, I guess everybody
is a little, sir.
Don't bother with
the sirs, dave.
Quarters all right?
Yeah, fine.
Grub's good, too,
isn't it?
Best I've had
in a long time, sir.
What are you going to do when
we get back home, thatcher?
Oh, I have a girl
in billings, sir.
I'm going
to marry her...
If we get back.
Oh, we'll get back,
all right.
[Footsteps]
Oh, hello.
Hello.
Hello.
I, uh...thought
I'd come up
And sh**t the stars
for a little while.
I guess
it's too foggy.
Pretty foggy,
all right.
[Footsteps]
What are you guys
doing here?
Oh, just getting
a little air.
Yeah. It's pretty
stuffy down below.
Yeah, it sure is.
You guys worry over
the ruptured duck
Like a bunch
of old maids.
Me, I'm going
to bed.
[Whistle blows]
Good night.
Good night.
Good night, ted.
Wonderful air,
isn't it?
P.a.: The smoking lamp is lit.
The smoking lamp
is lit.
[Bugle sounds]
Man: ha ha ha!
Oh, what happened?
Just battle stations.
Around sunup
and sundown,
The pigboats give us
a little trouble,
So we always
lay for them.
This is jig white,
and I'm bud felton.
Glad to see you.
Glad to see you.
Lawson: how are you?
See you later.
Are we underway?
For the last
5 hours.
Glad to have
you aboard, army.
P.a.: General quarters,
man your battle stations.
Army personnel,
man your planes.
The only way you're
going to get that thing
Off of here
is with a crane.
Maybe so,
but we kind of think
We can take off
on our own power.
Hey, where'd
they come from?
Felton: that's what's known
as an escort.
They just slipped up on us
during the night.
The navy likes to do
things quietly.
Looks like it's
really going to be
A show, doesn't it?
Boy, did I hate to part skin
from sheet this morning.
What a bed!
Ha ha ha!
Oh, this
is shorty manch.
Jig white
and bud felton.
Hi, y'all.
Hi, y'all.
This lucky stiff
is sleeping
In the bedroom off
the admiral's cabin.
Yeah. Wonderful accommodations
but nothing much to do.
I thought
there'd at least
Be a poker game
or something going on.
I guess they have them
every once in a while.
How about 7-toed pete?
Do you ever play much
of that around here?
[Whistle blows]
What's 7-toed pete?
Well, it's a kind
of 7-card poker.
I'd be glad to teach
it to you sometime.
Never heard of it.
P.a.: Attention,
army personnel.
Attention, army personnel.
Assemble in ward room.
See you later,
fellas.
Assemble in ward room.
It's been a great
pleasure, fellas.
We'll certainly have to
get together soon.
Maybe we can get up that
little game of poker.
See you later.
You know, I believe that
boy wants to play poker.
I wonder if they got their
pay before they came aboard.
Doolittle: as you were.
For the benefit of those
who haven't already guessed,
We're going
straight to japan.
[Men murmur]
The navy will take us
Within 400 miles of
the japanese mainland.
We're going
to b*mb tokyo,
Yokohama, kobe,
osaka, nagoya.
It will be a night job,
And you will be given
the opportunity of choosing
The city you prefer.
Now, this is going
to be a tight squeeze.
The chinese have prepared
Small fields just outside of
japanese occupied territory
For us to land on
after the raid.
They'll gas us up, and we'll
take off for chongqing.
From now on, we're in constant
danger of enemy attack.
If there should be
a surface attack,
Stand by your planes
with fire extinguishers
And let the navy
handle it.
If there should be
an attack by air,
Take off and make
for the nearest land.
The navy will give
all navigators
Their bearings twice a day.
Now, once more,
I want to emphasize
That if any of you feel you're
not up to this job,
It's perfectly all right
for you to drop out.
We have a few spare men,
And I think we can
fill your place.
Get together
with captain york
And find out what
to do with your planes.
We'll meet here tomorrow
afternoon at 2:30.
Are there any questions?
Colonel, do you mind if we
smoke during these assemblies?
[Laughter]
I have no objection to that
if the navy hasn't.
Anything else?
Dismissed.
48...49...50...
51...52...53...54...
55...56...57...
Oh, sorry, manch.
Just getting
a little exercise.
Yeah?
Well, I wasn't.
I'm measuring off
this cockeyed deck.
90...
P.a.: Attention,
all personnel.
You have been wondering
about the mission we are on.
I think you
might like to know
That the army personnel
on the hornet
Are going to b*mb japan.
We in the navy are going
to take them in
As close to the enemy
as possible.
This is a chance
for all of us
To give the japs a dose
of their own medicine.
It's an army-navy show.
Let's extend every courtesy
to the army men on the hornet
Who are going
to do the job.
Good luck, good hunting,
And may god speed us
on our mission.
Have some?
Thanks, buddy!
Manch:
you're awfully lucky
For guys who never
heard of 7-toed pete.
They tell me virginia's
A great hunting
country, too.
What's that?
Oh, yeah.
Let's play, fellas.
What's the bet?
It's up to you,
manch.
Don't they call
virginia
The mother
of presidents?
Uh...yeah.
I mean, um...bet 5.
Up 10.
Thomas jefferson
Lived there, too,
didn't he?
I drop.
A lot of guys
lived there.
Are you sure you never
played 7-toed pete before?
Makes it 10
to you, manch.
Have they finally gotten
that hookworm situation
Under control
down there?
There never has been a case
of hookworm in virginia.
I got a small straight.
Mine's
7 to the jack.
All pink.
Well, that beats.
I think
I'll turn in.
Somebody's won
a lot of dough.
A little. You just had
a run of bad cards, manch.
Yeah.
Felton: what say we get
together again pretty soon?
Oh, sure.
See you later.
Say, you haven't got
any books on virginia,
Have you, manch?
You army guys
are real pigeons.
I wish you were
in the navy.
You take the bunk,
lawson.
I'll sleep here
if you don't mind.
What's the idea?
Ah, that thing's as soft
as a feather bed.
I never could
sleep in it.
Yeah, it's not bad.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Doolittle: lt. Randall is
going to tell us something
About a carrier takeoff.
Mr. Randall.
From the minute
you're in your planes,
I'm the man to watch.
Have your engines
turning over
As soon as the man
in front of you starts taxiing.
When I want you to rev up,
I'll give you this.
Now, if your engines
don't sound right to me,
I may have to keep you revved up
longer than you think necessary.
I can hear your engines and
tell when they're missing
Better than you can.
When I want you to start
taxiing, I'll give you this.
Now you're in position.
I give you
a final rev,
And when I drop it...
You're off.
We'll aim you
straight for japan.
One more thing.
Once we're lined up
for the takeoffs,
There can be no delays.
If your plane stalls,
if it doesn't start immediately,
If you have any trouble
of any kind,
We won't have time
to do anything about it.
The navy crew has orders
to push the ship overboard,
Make way
for the next one.
Doolittle:
lieutenant jurika
Has detailed maps
and pictures
Of cities
and specified targets.
Mr. Jurika spent a great
many years in japan.
I think it might be a good idea
if he gave you some idea
Of what kind of people you're
going to run up against
In case you're
forced down.
Mr. Jurika.
I was assistant
naval attache
At our embassy in japan
Long enough to learn
a few things about the orient.
Just what should
we do, mr. Jurika?
How should we conduct
ourselves
In case we are
forced down over japan?
My advice is,
See that you're not
forced down over japan.
The run I've got figured
out for you starts here.
The smokestacks are
bright red brick,
And you can't
miss them--
One of the largest
smelters in japan.
Then following
the line of the bay
And allowing 10 seconds
between bombs,
You should take out
this and this.
Both of them are machine
shops owned by brothers.
I forget their names,
But I remember
I didn't like them.
Then on out here
to drop your incendiary.
How does this line up
for you, lawson?
Well, you're going
to drop them, clever.
That run seems all right
with me if it's ok for you.
We can
take them out.
Fine. George,
have you got the course
Laid out for this run?
Yes.
Over here, fellas.
Now, you take off about here
and go due west to tokyo
At minimum cruising speed,
flying at about 50 feet.
When you hit the bay,
get up to 1,500,
Complete your bombing run,
then down again and out to sea,
South by southeast
to yaku shima.
Lawson: can we take
the maps with us?
All you need.
Be sure there are no
marks on them, though,
Which might show the
japs where you came from
In case you're captured.
By the way,
I'm taking off first
with 4 incendiaries.
That should
light up tokyo
Pretty well for you.
Suppose by the time
we get to china,
The japs have taken over
the landing field.
The chinese have arranged
a signal for you
When you get to the field if
the japs have captured it.
If that's the case, you've
got to keep right on going
Until you run out of gas,
Then bail out
and destroy your planes.
[Whispering]
Yes.
Jurika: there's just been
a change in the disposition
Of the barrage balloons
over tokyo.
This balloon and this one
were moved this morning
To here and here.
You know, the changes in
those balloons threw me.
Just think, a bunch of
guys sweating all day
In a sub
down in the tokyo bay,
Guys just like us,
Sneaking up at night to
radio balloon positions.
Just let me
hear anybody talk
About the navy again.
Boy, they're good.
Plenty.
They're not bad
at poker, either.
Oh, you're not kidding.
I kind of figured
On getting ellen
a present in chongqing,
You know,
a kimono or something,
But these navy guys
have cleaned me.
Believe it or not,
I've only got 14 bucks.
Well, I got $8 or $10
I could let you have.
Oh, no, no.
I've been thinking,
Cigarettes sell
for 60 cents a carton
On the boat here,
but in chongqing,
I hear the boys
will pay 7 bucks.
Yeah?
So, I figure
I may load the duck
with coffin nails.
Hey, that's an idea.
Ah, it's a good
night for subs.
Yeah.
You know,
it's funny.
When I was a kid,
I used to dream
About going
someplace on a ship.
Well, here I am.
And out there is japan.
My mother had
a jap gardener once.
He seemed like
a nice little guy.
Well, I don't
hate japs...yet.
It's a funny thing.
I...i don't like them,
but I don't hate them.
I guess I don't,
either.
You get kind of
mixed up.
Yeah.
It's hard to figure,
yet here we are.
All I ever
wanted to be
Was an aeronautical
engineer.
I joined
the army in '40
Because I figured
It was the best
way to learn.
I wasn't sore
at anybody.
But here
you suddenly
Realize you're
going to drop
A ton
of high expl*sives
On one of the
biggest cities
In the world.
You're not getting
squeamish, are you?
Oh, no.
No, of course not.
I don't pretend
to like the idea
Of k*lling
a bunch of people,
But it's a case of
drop a b*mb on them,
Or pretty soon,
They'll be dropping
one on ellen.
Yeah. That's right.
I wonder how many of us
will pull through.
Oh, they figure
about half.
And everybody thinks
he'll be in that half.
Yeah.
When are you going
to get married, bob?
Oh, when I find
somebody like ellen.
Be swell, you know,
the four of us.
You know,
when this is over,
I'd like to get me
a small ranch,
Something that
would run about...
Oh, 40, 50
head of cattle.
Nice well
and a house.
Be wonderful
for kids.
I've always been kind of
nuts about ranches myself.
You know, in a decent year,
you can make real dough
Out of 40 head of cattle
if you got feed.
Why don't we do
something like that?
Well, I'm game
if you are.
Ok. It's a deal.
Good.
Of course, now, if we
had 80 head of cattle,
We'd really have
ourselves a layout.
Yeah, and our
own meat, too.
Oh, yeah. Milk, butter,
eggs--the whole works.
You know, a guy's
got himself a place,
He doesn't have to
worry about anything.
And with a little
hunting near.
Oh, sure.
That's easy.
Gosh, I'll be glad
when this w*r ends.
Doolittle:
in the event of an emergency,
There will be no assembly,
no last-minute instructions.
We'll just take off.
If you should develop
motor trouble
Within a half-hour after
leaving the hornet,
Fly back to the ship
and land in the water.
The navy will try
to fish you out.
If trouble should develop
after that time,
You'll have to keep
right on going
Because, by that time,
The fleet will have to fire
on any craft overhead.
I don't want you
to throw out
The extra cans of gas
as you use them.
That would leave
a perfect trail
For the japs to follow
back to the hornet.
Save the cans and throw them
all out at one time.
Now let me repeat something
I've said previously.
You are to b*mb
the military targets
Assigned to you
and nothing else.
Of course,
in an operation of this kind,
You cannot avoid
k*lling civilians
Because w*r plants are manned
by civilians.
If any of you have
any moral feelings
About this
necessary k*lling,
If you feel that you might
think of yourself afterward
As a m*rder*r,
I want you to drop out.
We'll find someone
to take your place,
And I promise you
That no one will blame
you for your feelings.
Barring any sudden
switch in plans,
We'll take off
tomorrow night.
There's one thing more.
When we meet in chongqing,
I'm going to throw you a party
That you can tell
your grandchildren about.
You're a great
bunch of guys.
I'm proud to be
associated with you.
Good luck.
12 Cartons
of cigarettes.
12 Cartons? Say, what
gives with the army?
I never sold so many
cigarettes in my life.
We're chain-smokers.
You must eat them.
What kind will it be?
Oh, any kind.
You just want
lots of cigarettes.
You hit it
right on the head.
All right.
That'll be $7.20.
[Large g*ns firing]
[Bugle sounding]
[Klaxon ringing]
P.a.: Now hear this.
Our carrier task force
Has been sighted
by enemy surface vessels.
All army pilots and crews,
Man your planes
for immediate takeoff.
There goes a jap
Just 3 minutes
after we sighted her.
Yeah. That means
she had two minutes
To tell
tokyo what she saw.
P.a.: Now hear this.
Get all bombs loaded
on the double.
Are you all packed?
Have been
for 5 days, sir.
Good. Better watch how
those guys handle the duck.
I will, sir.
And don't tell anybody
about that bum turret.
I won't, sir.
Hey, we're off,
aren't we?
Yeah!
Oh, b*mb me, daddy,
8 to the block!
Ah, ha ha!
I think I've got
everything packed.
Oh, swell. Thanks.
I'm sorry we couldn't
have picked out
A little better
weather for you.
We'll make it.
So long, felton.
Give them a pasting
they'll never forget.
We will. Look, thanks
for everything.
You guys in
the navy are...
Well, you're ok.
Be seeing you.
[Whistle blows]
P.a.: Now hear this.
Clear the flight deck
to start engines.
Mm mm!
Hey, how about
my change?
They're giving us
15 extra cans
Instead of 10, sir.
Good!
At least
getting off now
Will put us over
tokyo in daylight.
Don't forget about the barrage
balloons in daylight, too.
Next, you'll be
telling me it's good
Because you get better
pictures in the daytime.
You're not kidding
about that, either.
Let's give her
a final check.
Hey, bob!
What?
Are you up ahead?
Fourth spot.
See you
in chongqing.
You said it, brother!
How they doing?
Doolittle will be
off any second.
Then hoover,
holstrom, gray,
And davey jones.
We're seventh.
7'S a lucky number.
Ted! Ted! Hey, ted!
Ted! Hey!
Put these someplace,
will you?
What are they?
Sizzle platters.
I got the phonograph
in my ship,
But I haven't got room
for the records.
We'll meet in chongqing
and cut a chinese rug!
Ok, shorty.
Take care of these,
will you, mcclure?
Mcclure: right.
Pilot to gunner.
Thatcher: gunner to pilot.
Go ahead, sir.
Take a look
at the turret
If you get a chance.
I've been working on that,
sir. She's still jammed.
We'll use the auxiliary
power if we have to.
Right, sir.
We've got ourselves in
a fine jam, haven't we, lawson?
This is a great time
to think of that.
Oh, no. I mean having to
take off ahead of schedule.
Oh, I'm sorry,
davenport.
I guess maybe I'm
a little on edge.
b*mb bay clear?
b*mb bay clear!
Clear on right?
Clear on right!
Clear on left?
Clear on left!
[Engines revving]
[Men cheering]
He made it!
[Cheering]
Get your flaps up.
Hey!
Good luck, fellas!
Have a couple for the navy!
We sure will,
miller.
And thanks to you.
Wish I were going with you.
So long. Bye, boys.
Davenport:
4 more ahead of us.
Lawson: let's start
the engines.
Let's go.
Clear on right?
Clear on right?
Clear on right!
Clear on left?
Clear on left!
[Engine hesitating]
Those navy guys are
moving up to push us over.
They're not going to
toss this ship overboard.
Come on, baby!
Give!
Give! Give!
[Engine starts]
Ha ha!
Check
hydraulic pressure.
Hydraulic pressure
ok.
Check
brake pressure.
Ok.
There goes bob.
Two more
ahead of us.
Check fuel booster.
Hey, army!
Ted! Give 'em...
[Engine revving]
Army!
When we get
to chongqing,
We'll tell them it was
a navy show, too.
They'll know that
When they see how broke
you are! Good hunting!
b*mb bay
doors closed.
Clever:
b*mb bay's closed.
Pilot to gunner.
All set, thatcher?
Everything ok, sir.
Lawson:
wing flaps down.
Wing flaps
coming down.
There goes hallmark.
We're taking off,
fellas.
Happy landings.
Davenport: whew.
Lawson: yeah.
Tuck the flaps up.
We didn't even
have them down.
How do you
like that?
I wonder what else
we forgot.
Coffee, sandwiches,
water--plenty.
Pilot to gunner.
Thatcher.
Gunner to pilot.
Go ahead, sir.
You all right,
thatcher?
Yes, sir.
You'd better get started
on those cans.
We've burned over
40 gallons already.
Yes, sir.
Well, we're on our way.
If anybody's carrying
a rabbit's foot,
Hang on to it tight.
What's our position,
mcclure?
I figure about an hour
and 58 minutes from the coast.
Get that, thatcher?
We can expect
Their fighters
anytime now.
Keep your eyes open.
Watching, sir.
There's nothing in sight.
Could we try out
this turret again?
Ok. Relay switch on.
Works all right, sir,
But that emergency power's
not going to hold out long
If we run into trouble.
Turning it off now.
How far are we behind
our first g*ng?
About an hour.
We really can get set
for trouble.
Yeah, but nothing
like what the guys
Behind us are going
to run into.
I'd feel a lot better
on a night job.
Did you hear that
left engine miss?
No. Singing
like a lark.
I must be
hearing things.
Navigator to pilot.
Pilot to navigator.
Go ahead.
We ought to hit the
japanese coast any minute.
Look!
Lawson: see that flag?
Davenport: yeah.
Saving bombs today.
They're waving at us.
Those guys
must be nuts.
Japanese coast,
straight ahead.
Fujiyama.
We'll be catching
buckshot any second now.
Zeroes!
Pilot to--
I saw them, sir.
Shall I turn the power
on for the turret?
No. Wait a minute.
I don't know what
happened to them, sir.
I guess they didn't see us.
Lawson: there she is,
fellas. Take a good gander.
When we get back home,
the folks will want to know
What tokyo
used to look like.
Davenport: that
must be davey jones
Giving them the works.
Pilot to bombardier,
b*mb bay doors open.
There we are--
the big red smokestack.
Pilot to bombardier,
approaching smelter.
I'm on it.
[Explosions]
They've got
our altitude.
One away.
Two away.
3 Away.
4 Away.
[expl*si*n]
Six fighters just above
and to the right.
Have you got them,
thatcher?
Thatcher:
ready for them, sir.
Why don't they dive?
Davenport: they're
going away.
I'm not going to wait
for them to come back.
We're getting
out of here.
Well, I guess maybe
we're in that lucky half.
Not yet. Not till
we get to china.
Wow!
What a headache.
Were you scared?
I'm still scared.
Lawson: mcclure,
on our course?
On our course.
160 Gallons.
I hope it's enough
to get us to ch'ang-chou.
Yeah,
and I hope the japs
Don't get there first.
What's the dope,
mcclure?
About 200 miles
to ch'ang-chou,
And we ought to hit
the coast any minute.
We'll never find it
in the dark.
Pilot to crew,
We're going up and
fly in on instruments.
When the gas is gone,
we'll bail out.
We'll buzz it.
Maybe we can land.
Keep a lookout
for rocks or logs.
All set for landing.
Mcclure,
get our g*ns out.
Take off chutes
And be sure your
life jackets are on.
Carry your g*ns.
Wheels down.
Flaps down.
Air speed, 135.
130.
110.
[Engine stalls]
I lost my ship.
I lost my ship.
You hurt bad?
I don't...
I don't know.
[Groaning]
I can't move
my arms.
Man: ugh!
Agh!
Ugh!
Your leg. It's all
busted up, sir.
Get davenport.
Hey.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Oh!
Oh...
Oh...
Ellen: ted.
Ted, look at me.
That baby and i,
We won't ever
need anything but you.
We mustn't either of us
be scared about it, ted,
Because the baby...
The baby's why I know you're
coming back to us.
Lawson!
Shall I sh**t them,
lieutenant?
No. Hold it.
But they may
be japs, sir.
Don't sh**t,
thatcher.
Hey! Hey!
[Speaking foreign language]
Chinga. Chinga.
He says
he's chinese.
What's that word
for american?
[Speaking chinese]
[Speaking chinese]
Crewman: aah!
[Moaning]
Ughh!
That leg's got to be
sewn up, sir.
It's split wide open.
[Men speaking chinese]
[Saying "american"
in chinese]
[Speaking chinese]
Me charlie.
Davenport:
americans.
We're americans.
American.
American.
We need a doctor
and some help
To get to ch'ang-chou.
Chiang kai-shek--we're
his friends in chongqing.
Chongqing?
Yes!
That's right.
We go chongqing.
Chongqing many,
many days. Many.
Crewman: doctor...
Doctor...
Charlie, go doctor.
Charlie bring
doctor here.
Lawson: charlie bring doctor,
or we die.
Doctor one li.
One li? That's
a chinese mile.
One li. Go.
Bring doctor.
Doctor japanese man.
Japanese doctor.
Maybe japanese man,
japanese soldier come here.
Japanese man
no come at night.
[Shouts in chinese]
Boat. You go boat.
[Motor running]
[Shouts in chinese]
[Speaking japanese]
[Shouts in chinese]
[Moaning]
Hey, cut that out!
I think he wants
to trade b*ll*ts
With you, thatcher.
Oh.
Friend.
Charlie friend.
Charlie go.
Charlie
friend.
Sure, charlie friend.
Good-bye, charlie.
[Man shouting in chinese]
[Groaning]
[Airplane]
Mcclure: japs must
be all around us.
I wonder
where the rest
Of the g*ng is.
Scattered all over
the china coast...
If they're alive.
Unh!
Aah!
I think
I'm going to...
Pass out.
I, ted,
take you, ellen--
Man: to be my lawfully
wedded wife--
To be my lawfully
wedded wife.
To have
and to cherish--
To have
and to cherish--
Until death
us do part.
Until death
us do part...
Until death us do part.
Until death
us do part.
Don't let them
cut my leg off.
Please! Don't let them
cut my leg off.
Don't let
them cut my leg off!
Lawson! Lawson!
Don't!
Lawson!
What's the matter?
You were yelling.
[Speaking chinese]
Thank you.
[Airplane approaching]
My name is foo ling.
Everything
we have is yours.
We know what you
have done,
And we
honor you for it.
Our navigator has
Both his shoulders
broken.
Is there anybody
Who can set them
for him?
No one.
But we hope that help
will soon arrive for you.
[Speaking chinese]
Thanks.
How are they?
We have washed them.
They are bandaged,
But we have
no medicines--
Not even aspirin.
[People talking loudly]
What's that?
[Speaking chinese]
This is dr. Chung.
How do you do?
We've come a long way,
and we're going home now,
And we've been hunting
a doctor everywhere.
I understand.
Have you got
anything that will
Knock them out,
doctor?
They're
in awful pain.
We hope to have
some medical supplies
By the time we reach
my father's hospital.
A hospital.
Where's that?
In linhai, about
60 li from here.
I have come to
take you there.
It's a funny thing,
doctor.
There were
a lot of planes,
And we had
to take off early.
You see how it was.
Of course.
They aren't
in any shape
To make much of
a trip, doctor.
We'll have to
move them at once.
The japanese captured
One of your crews
yesterday
Not very far from here.
So many planes.
We didn't know what
happened to the others.
All up and down
the chinese coast
My countrymen are
seeking your countrymen.
We'll bring
them through.
[Speaking chinese]
I have some money.
I want to give it
to you.
Please, lieutenant.
You have given us
enough already.
What?
The bombs you
dropped on japan.
Please, now.
Try to rest.
[expl*si*n]
The japanese--
they are in
The village
we just left.
[Speaking chinese]
Chung.
Mr. Parker.
Mrs. Parker.
Chung.
How are they?
They are very,
very sick.
I'll need
your help.
How close
are the japanese?
They took xingming
3 Hours after
our departure.
One of
the american crews
Has already fallen
into their hands.
Hadn't they better
be taken
Straight
through to hap-sing?
They couldn't
stand the trip.
[Speaking chinese]
[Speaking chinese]
This is my father--
dr. Chung.
The others--
Please help them.
They--
Please don't worry,
lieutenant.
We'll take care
of everybody.
[Speaking chinese]
You won't have to
take it off, will you, doc?
We hope not.
One cannot tell.
You've had
a long journey.
Now you must rest.
All we had
at our mission
Was a little antiseptic
fluid and some bandages,
But we've sent out
runners for supplies.
Is there any way I could
get a message out?
I'd like my mother
to know that I'm ok.
The whole region's
swarming with japanese.
Do you think they've heard
Back in the states
what happened to us?
We've been listening
on the shortwave.
They know
all about the raid,
But apparently
They're keeping
the details secret
Until the rest of your
men have been saved.
Have they found
any of the others?
We have word
that one crew
Will be coming through
here pretty soon now.
I understand there's
a doctor among them.
Then it must be
lieutenant smith's crew.
Excuse me.
Lieutenant smith's crew
has been rescued, sir.
Smith's?
They found lieutenant
smith and doc white,
And they're coming here.
Don smith's crew?
The doc was flying
with don smith.
They'll be here
any minute now.
It's funny, isn't it?
I mean the way
Clever's head just keeps
rocking back and forth,
Back and forth.
Somebody
ought to help clever.
[Music playing
on phonograph]
I think the chinese
Are a swell bunch
of people,
But I can't say I go
for their music.
Aw, shorty manch
would go all to pieces
If he heard
a little of this.
Yeah.
How's lawson?
Well, his leg
looks pretty bad, sir.
Dr. Chung thinks
gangrene has set in.
[Explosions]
[Airplane approaching]
Looks like a jap zero.
[expl*si*n]
You guys ought to
go on and leave me.
They think I'm passed out
half the time,
And I hear what they say.
The japs are coming
closer all the time.
Why don't you guys go?
We're not sticking
around here
Because
of you, lawson.
None of us here are
able to travel yet.
I was just thinking...
I guess ellen and I
aren't going to ski anymore.
That's too bad.
I was going to teach her
some fancy stuff.
Now, don't start
talking like that.
You're going to pull
through all right.
What do you think
a girl would do?
I mean, say, ellen
and I like to ski.
Be kind of funny if they cut
my leg off, wouldn't it?
Why don't you try
to go to sleep?
Yeah, it would be
kind of funny, all right.
Marry a guy who's got
two arms and two legs.
Then he comes back,
and he hasn't any.
[People talking excitedly]
I'm dr. Chung.
Where are the boys?
How are you, pop?
Did you have
a good trip?
Here they are.
Ah!
Don,
how you doing?
Hello, sarge.
Good to see you.
Holy joe. What
happened to you guys?
Nothing serious.
The duck forgot to duck.
Yeah. Mcclure's been trying to
do his own flying ever since.
Really looks like something
left over from a m*ssacre.
Well, you guys don't look
so good yourselves.
Mcclure: you don't
smell so good, either.
There's nothing
wrong with us
That a good bath
won't fix.
I wish we could
say the same for you.
How's the grub
around here?
I think I'd like
a good, thick steak,
French-fried onions,
and a baked potato
With plenty
of butter,
And about 3 bottles
of beer, and--
You'll take
bean sprouts
And like them.
Say, where's lawson
and davenport?
They're upstairs.
Lawson's
in pretty bad shape.
You better go up
and see him.
He needs you bad, doc.
Well,
it's certainly good
To see
you fellas again.
Hey, pop!
How's the chop suey
around here?
[Speaking chinese]
Clever: he doesn't
speak english.
Oh!
Well,
I'm sorry, pop.
[Laughter]
Yeah. And when
shorty jumped,
He had two .45s,
a .44 r*fle,
A .22 a*t*matic,
that luger of his,
A hunting knife,
A bowie knife,
and an ax.
What a guy.
Ha ha! He stuffed
his shirt
Full of
chocolate bars,
But he forgot to
button his collar,
So when he pulled
the rip cord,
He just naturally
Molted candy all
over north china.
What happened
to his phonograph?
It went down
with the ship.
Next morning,
Manch scared
the chinese
Right out
of their wits.
They didn't know
Anything human
grew that tall.
What about bob gray?
He's ok.
I think they moved
on to chongqing.
Oh, yeah, and that
guy, "me charlie,"
Said to
tell you hello.
If it hadn't been
for charlie,
The japs would have
had us that first day.
Yeah. Us, too.
I'd like to
come back someday
And fight
alongside that guy.
Me, too.
It's all over.
Let's save some
of this talk
For tomorrow, huh?
Pint and a half--
that's not bad.
You better
get to bed now.
Aw, you're an old
grandma, doc...
But I'll
take it slow
Just as
a favor to you.
Be seeing you,
lawson.
Thanks, don.
How's the leg, doc?
It's not good,
lawson.
The next 48 hours
will tell the story.
Thank you.
Davenport: hey, don!
Yeah?
Tell doolittle
to hold off that party
Till we get there.
Ok, davenport.
We'll wait for you.
Where's thatcher?
He's in
with lawson.
He'll be
right out.
Ok.
I wish you would
let me stay here
Until you're ready
to go, sir.
These people
will take care of us.
There's no reason for you
fellas to hang around
And maybe get caught.
Yeah, I know, but I
might come in handy
If the japs
show up, sir.
Thatcher, when you
get back to the states,
If you should
run into my wife,
Just tell her I'm ok.
Don't let her know
about anything being wrong.
I understand, sir.
And say hello for me
to that girl in billings.
That I will, sir.
Good-bye.
Good-bye, thatcher.
* The stars at night
are big and bright *
* Deep in the heart of texas *
* The prairie sky
is wide and high *
* Deep in the heart of texas *
* The sage in bloom
is like perfume *
* Deep in the heart of texas *
Good morning.
Good morning,
lawson.
Hi, doc.
I'll try not to
hurt you, lawson.
We'll have
a look at this.
Thanks.
You going to
take the leg, doc?
Yeah, I think so.
We talked it over,
And there's nothing
else to do.
Oh.
It's pretty rough
To have to cut
a man's leg off.
I guess it will be all right.
After all, a wooden leg
Is just kind of like wearing
a shoe with a high instep.
When are you
going to do it?
I might as well give you
a shot right now.
You mean we have something
to knock me out?
Our runners arrived
With anesthetic
this morning.
It'll only
be a spinal, lawson.
You won't feel anything
from the waist down,
But you'll be conscious.
That's the best
we can do.
Oh, swell.
I can watch you
And make sure you don't
take off too much.
All right, lawson. We'll
have to roll you over.
It will take
a little time to work.
We'll get you over
to the operating room.
[Speaking chinese]
Doc?
Yes?
How high are you
going to cut?
Not too high.
Will I have
a knee, doc?
I'm afraid not, lawson.
Any feeling there?
No. Look, doc--
We can't waste
any time, lawson.
When that anesthetic
wears off,
We haven't got any more.
Ok, but just
one thing more.
Yes.
If anything happens,
Don't let ellen know
anything about the operation.
She might just as well think
I died all in one piece.
All right, lawson.
Now, you're not
going to feel this,
But--well, you might
get nervous
And jump
or something,
So the nurses are
going to hold you.
Ok, doc. Fire away.
[Speaking chinese]
Oh! When you said no knee,
you weren't kidding.
If I cut any lower,
We might have
to do it again.
Your system
couldn't take it.
What are you
stalling for, doc?
We're doing the best
we can, lawson.
Take it easy.
Ok, only hurry.
It seems like I'm beginning
to feel my other leg.
Seems like I can
move my toes, doc!
I think I can
move my ankle.
Hurry, doc.
I'm sure I can.
Hurry, doc! Hurry!
Ellen: hello?
Hello.
Hello, ellen?
Ted, where are you?
I'm in a lumber camp.
Had to make a forced
landing in a mud puddle.
You aren't hurt,
are you?
No, not a scratch.
Have you got
the tree all fixed?
Oh, yes, ted. You
should just see it.
It's so beautiful.
Anything under it?
Oh, yes.
Well, let's
open them up.
Hmm.
We can't do that.
Sure we can.
Go ahead.
Well,
if you say so.
I'm not going to be cheated
out of my christmas
By a cracked-up
airplane.
Oh, ted, it's the most
beautiful box of candy
I've ever seen
in my whole life!
Good. Isn't there maybe
something else lying around?
Let's see.
Yes, there is.
Well, open it.
It's a silk scarf,
And it looks like
it's handmade, too.
I bet it's got
my initials on it.
That's not fair.
You peeked while
I was making it.
Uh-uh. I just know my wife.
Oh, ted, i--i wish
you were here.
So do i, honey.
I'll be thinking
of you tonight.
I'll sit in front
of the tree
And turn the radio on
to christmas carols
And just think of you.
[Singing "the star-spangled
banner" in chinese]
Thank you...
And thank you,
scouts.
I mean,
all the fellas
Would like to
thank you very much...
For everything.
[Speaking chinese]
Lieutenant, my
father has asked me
To present this
to you.
It has been in
our family
Since
the 15th century.
Father begs me
to tell you
That beauty belongs
to beauty and asked
That you honor him
By presenting it
to your wife.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I didn't know that you
knew about ellen, my wife.
You--you spoke of her
a number of times.
Oh.
It says, "this is
an american hero
"Who has bombed
japan.
"Whenever he goes
"Among the people
of china,
Let him be accorded
respect and honor."
[Speaking chinese]
He has just come
from caogehzai.
Another one of your crews
has been captured,
And the japanese are
moving in this direction.
I think lawson will
be able to travel
In a couple of days.
There's nothing
wrong with me, doc.
I can travel right now.
I'm afraid a couple of
days would be too long.
[Speaking chinese]
This is wong tzu.
He has walked
all the way
From his native village
of caogehzai,
And he begs the honor
Of presenting gifts
to his american allies.
[Speaking chinese]
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you
very much.
He felt a lot worse
than I did.
I can get along
pretty well all ready.
I should say very well
For your first day
out of bed.
Guess I'll have to be
a little more careful.
I don't ever want anybody
to see me do that.
I don't want anybody
to see me
Till i--
till I get a new leg.
Lieutenant white,
word just came.
The american plane
Will pick you up
in ch'ang-chou
Tomorrow afternoon
at 5:00.
Wonderful!
[Speaking chinese]
He says if we
don't hurry,
The japanese
will get there first.
When are you leaving?
We're going
to stay here.
We're quite used
to it, you know.
Here. This may
come in handy.
Thank you.
You and mr. Parker
Have done so much for us,
And we'll never
forget it.
Good-bye, lawson.
Good-bye.
Good luck.
Thank you, sir.
Good-bye.
Good-bye.
God bless you.
Thank you.
My father wishes me
to tell you
That you have
honored us
With your visit
And that he will
offer prayers
For your safe return
to america.
Isn't he coming along
with us?
Father feels
that he must stay
With his people.
They will
need him here.
[Speaking chinese]
Good-bye, sir.
White:
good-bye, doctor.
Chung: good-bye, sir.
Good-bye, doc,
and thanks for everything.
I hope, sir, that we
may meet again.
That goes double,
doc.
Good-bye, doctor,
and thank you.
Thank you.
If you ever come
to the states, doctor,
Look me up, will you?
I'll be in the portland
telephone directory.
With pleasure.
Good-bye, doctor.
I have one sorrow,
lieutenant:
That we did not have
the medicine
To ease your pain.
You saved
my life, doc.
I hope someday you
will come back to us.
We'll be back.
Maybe not us
ourselves
But a lot
of guys like us,
And I'd like
to be with them
Because you're
our kind of people.
Thank you, sir,
and good-bye.
Hello!
Hello.
Go ahead.
Sit down.
Thank you.
I know how you feel.
Take it for a while.
Oh...
Thanks.
Smell that?
That's america.
That's the u.s.a.
Every time
I make a trip back,
She smells better
and better.
Yeah.
I think I know
what you mean.
I'm from pittsburgh.
I know it may
seem screwy to you,
But it seems to me
as if I can smell
Some of that
coal smoke
Right off the old
monongahela river.
That sound crazy?
No. I'm from california,
And I can smell
orange blossoms.
It couldn't be.
That's too far.
Must come
from florida.
If you want flavor,
You've got to have
a california orange,
But for smelling,
florida's just as good.
[Telephone ringing]
Hello.
Yes.
What's that?
Oh, uh,
just a minute.
Ellen!
Yes?
Ellen, washington
on the phone.
Hello?
Yes,
this is mrs. Lawson.
Oh, hello, colonel--
I mean, general doolittle.
Oh, yes,
I'm fine, thank you.
No, not a bit excited,
general.
Oh!
He's back, mother.
Ted's back. He's back!
Oh, yes, general.
How is he?
Oh, yes...
I understand.
Of course I do.
Ye-yes,
I'll be ready.
I know. I know.
Oh, that's so nice
of you, general.
Yes. Thank you.
Yes. Thank you,
general.
Thank you.
Oh!
Oh, dear.
Just--just cry,
darling.
Cry it out.
He got in
this morning, mother.
General doolittle just
saw him, so it's true.
General doolittle's
sending
A plane ticket for me.
Ted doesn't
want to see me.
He doesn't want to see me
because he's lost his leg,
And he doesn't even want
me to know it's happened
Until he gets a new leg
and learns how to use it,
As if it would
make any difference--
As if anything would make
any difference to me
As long as he's alive!
Oh, I'm going
to see him!
I'm going to see him!
Well, that means we
have to get your clothes
Ready in a hurry, hmm?
Oh, have--
have my things
Come back from
the cleaners yet?
Uh-huh.
Let's see.
I'll take this suit,
Oh, my--my blue coat--
He always liked it
best, and--
Oh, I can't take
any of these things.
I can't take any
of my pretty clothes.
They--they don't
fit me anymore.
Do you think ted's going
to pay any attention
To what kind of clothes
you wear
Or how you look?
He always did.
Oh, mother, I'm scared.
There's nothing to
be frightened about.
Lots of people
lose a leg or arm
And continue living
perfectly normal lives.
I'm not
scared about ted.
I'm scared about me.
About you?
Well, you see,
most husbands and wives
Are together while
things are changing,
And husbands get used
to things like that
Because, well,
they're around.
Ted's been gone
all this time,
And when he went away
I was so slim,
And all the time
he's been gone
He's been thinking
of me like that.
Ted loves you, ellen,
and you love him.
That's why
neither of you
Is going to
notice any change
When you meet him.
Do you think so,
mother?
I know so.
All the same, if I
held my coat like this
When I walk
into the room,
Don't you think it would
hide me--just a little?
Hello, lawson.
How you feeling?
Pretty good, sir.
You look fine.
Thank you, sir.
Won't you
sit down, sir?
Yeah. Thanks.
Well, got any plans?
About what, sir?
Well,
about the future.
Have you decided
what you're going to do?
Not particularly, sir.
I always wanted to be
An aeronautical
engineer.
I suppose I'll start
studying again
After they
muster me out.
Who said they'd
muster you out?
Well, I won't be much
use to anybody with a--
What are you
talking about?
Do you think we'd let
a man of your experience
Get away from us?
Well, that's fine,
sir. Thank you.
Don't thank me.
I just happened to think
of something, lawson.
Yes, sir?
What about your wife?
Does she know you're back?
No, sir.
Why not?
Well, I thought
I'd wait
Till I get
my new leg and...
My scars fixed up.
It won't be
so much of a shock
To her that way.
Shock? What kind of a girl
did you marry, anyway?
She's ok, sir.
She's a fine girl.
Well, then she
deserves to know.
She deserves
to see you, too.
No. No, sir.
If you don't mind,
I'd rather wait.
When I see
ellen again,
I'm going to be
all dressed up
And have a new leg,
And I'm going
to take her out
To the best place
in town,
And I'm going
to dance with her.
That may be
quite a while, lawson.
No, sir.
You see, I'm getting
along fine.
In a month or two--
In a month or two,
you'll be back
At work--hard work.
Well, I'll try to drop in
on you again, lawson.
I hope
you can, sir.
Bye.
Good-bye, sir.
Your wife's going to have
a baby, isn't she?
Yes, sir.
I've got a couple
of kids myself--
Both in the service.
You know, lawson,
If my kids and all
the other kids
Who were in
this thing could...
Could fix it so this would
really be the last one,
Your kid would get
quite a break, wouldn't he?
He sure would, sir.
I...i just had to come.
Ted, ted, ted!
Let me help you.
No, no. You'll
hurt the baby.
When things
were worst,
When there
didn't seem to be
Any chance at all,
I could
see your face--
Your beautiful face.
I knew you were
coming home, ted.
Tell me, honey.
How come you're so cute?
I had to be
If I was going to get
such a good-looking fella.
