Bomb Raid in Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944)

[@terryv]

A very tension-filled minute of low-level combat flying. Great raid; great movie.

terryv better than Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor

And also less crammed than “Pearl Harbor”. CGI actually spoils the raid.

[@raymondyee2008]

Better than the 2001 “Pearl Harbor” movie. And suffice to say they didn’t use the Mark Twain bombsight again after the Raid.

The fire in the background is real and from a refinery fire in southern California.

Great book - I still remember it from my high school days. I can still visualize the moment they ditched their B-25 off the Chines shoreline and how one crew member broke his shoulders on impact.... Man oh man...

Stop for a bit and consider: these are 80-year-old Hollywood FX.
