Saturday marks the 67th Anniversary of the Doolittle Raid, April 18, 1942. Here are two video interviews with a couple of the Raiders - Dick Cole and Tom Griffin - that you might find of interest (please pardon my links :wink: ):

Thanks for those, Zack. I still think Tom Griffin's presentation that night at EAA was one of the neatest things I've experienced in a long time.
