30 Seconds That Made History..

[earntaz]

Back in the 1980's, I met an old warrior in a VFW in Illinois -- he was a sailor/deck hand on the Hornet during this great event. He indicated there was some betting going on among those present whether the B-25's would make in off the deck. He said the old Hornet was driving so hard into the wind that some of the first 25's seemed to hang in the air after leaving the end of the deck.

That old fellow remembered everything that happened that day and was more than happy to tell the story ...
