What does it sound like to
have twelve World War II era B-25
"Mitchell" Bombers taxi over
your head, form for an en masse run-up,
take off one after the other and then,
fly overhead in mass formation?
One word... AWESOME!
Last year when we attended
the 2001 Doolittle Raiders Reunion in
Fresno, California, our main mission was
photography... But. I usually carry a
small but very powerful digital recorder
in my fanny pack. I had it turned on
during the mass formation taxi and the
subsequent take-off activities. It was
not till recently that the recording
resurfaced in my archives. We have
finally put the clip together into a
presentation for your enjoyment. Put on
your headphones, sit back, close your
eyes and go back in time. Rarely do we
get the opportunity to experience the
sounds that were so common during the era
when our classic warbirds were as young
as the men who flew them!
