Subject: USS HORNET
Subject: USS HORNET
The description of this video has some valuable insight about who the blindfolded Americans were. The round patches on their leather bomber jackets from 1:50-2:03 match the patches in the group picture of Doolittle and his crew on board the USS Hornet, CV-8 (see Wikipedia under 'Doolittle Raid'). The Hornet that launched the Doolittle Raid in 1942 was CV-8, later sunk in 1943 near Guadalcanal. The new Essex Class Hornet, CV-12, was commissioned in late 1943 and joined the Fast Carrier Task Force in the Pacific in early 1944.
