Ever wondered what the deck of the USS Hornet looked like as it transported the Doolittle Raiders to their destination?

If you're at #OSH17, you can get a feel for it in Warbird Alley this morning. The B-25s have been lined up to appear as they would have on the deck of the Hornet. This is part of the Warbirds in Review session this morning with Dick Cole, the last surviving Doolittle Raider.

The session begins at 1000 CST today. Watch live at http://www.warbirdsnews.com/live

Fake news! Everyone knows digital catapults and wires don't work, next thing they will be trying to convince us the F-35C can be launched and recovered from CVN78.  ;D
