The Doolitte Raid on Tokyo (1942): The US Strikes Back | Battle 360 | History 

Happy Hertzair YES YES YES!!

Happy Hertzair thank you

@Joe Yes, but at the same time we mostly believed the same of ourselves until Pearl Harbor happened.

That was a very interesting fact...

That and they were the first to hit them right in their back yard and send a message. “You may think you’re safe... wait til we get a little closer” Then a few years later we drop 2 nukes.

Or trading garbage

Absolutely

History really likes money

there's a knowledge and history in that garbage,and that's the point that ur tiny mind can't comprehend

You have a choice, watch guys try to trade stuff at a Pawn Shop, or watch guys go to hoarders barns and buy old rusted junk. If your not into junk, you've got wild alien conspiracies and you've also got......chopping trees........and...driving trucks on ice........ Very historical indeed.

rjc63 Yep

Yep, I miss these types of show from the history channel

Even this is a far cry from what they used to air.

@M Detlef 100 percent of the Roman empire are dead now....what's your point?

I remember people whining about too much WW2 on History. Now there's hardly any.

Did he make it back OK?

@@phillipshearman5597 Doolittle did. Many flyers did not.

Considering the Japanese preformed experimental surgery’s on POW’s without anesthesia. Took a lot of guts or stupidly to decide to take off 650 miles away. Imagine 18 year old boys getting their gallbladders cut out then left to die on the table as the doctor finishes his notes. Or the dr says shoot this one in the stomach then put him on the table and I’ll dig around without anesthesia and take notes, opps this one died. Go shoot another one and put him on the table. They must have been praying for death towards the end.

The bombs of Doolittle's Raiders were rated E for Everybody

Ryan Jones unit 731. Japan still denies involvement. Was off the record, top secret, so they played dumb. Americans traded them being on trial for giving them the data they gathered.

@@namedisclosed1849 it all about how horrible an unjust America is .. i have a question, i read all the time comments with this kind of thing against the American culture an our government.. the whole time the ones hating on America stay living here or strives to come to America to live.. i never understand that part of the Equation.

The Japanese were brutal to all nations. In Singapore, where I am from. They rounded up at random, military aged Chinese men and machine gunned 100,000 in a few days.

You're a Liar. Liar, Liar your pant on fire. You better repent your sins.

@@christophercardono6274 .......

@@christophercardono6274 how do you know what he said is true or not?

You lucky dog!

He died in 93

How would you rather die. Burned alive like the Japanese citizen’s or buried alive in rubble and die three day later from dehydration like the English, German, Russian, citizens. Must have sucked to live during that point in history.

more like by the thousands lol

@@ryanjones9498 not sure about the Germans citizen but the Soviet experienced worst than dehydration depends on location. Such as the case in Stalingrad.

Kublai Khan : Am I a joke to you!?

@@srikasturihsi6496 never manage to get to honshu thanks to weather. so yes... no foreign forces ever manage to attack japan (mainland, that is)

SriKasturi HSI are you joking? They never landed in japan due to kamikaze (holy wind)

Alif Kazeryu they did actually got to the shoreline and landed men, through those men were defeated and the fleet was knocked by a storm

Kublai Khan was joke... to Japan, twice. Not that he could have done anything about it

Wait, what about Ben Affleck!??

@@DOI_ARTS uhh that's a movie. I'm mentioning about the real raiders that participated the raid in 1942.

Im sorry it was a joke... Sorry

@@DOI_ARTS well I thought u really think that Ben Affleck was in the mission.

b-25...

@@Megadog33 middle finger non the less

Smaller than the middle finger on hiroshima & nagasaki, but okay

@@Megadog33 I know. It made me laugh out loud

I wouldn't say the biggest, but yeah it was pretty big.

I would say midway was the biggest middle finger to japan

It was likely not a coincidence. The surprise of the Doolittle raid on Japan triggered a desire for revenge by Japan's leaders. That lead to Midway.

@@Zhonguoria Midway wasn't product of revenge. It was a key element of Japanese strategy of taking over the Pacific. No Midway - no Pearl Harbor. No Pearl Harbor - no control of their side of the Pacific.

" American heroes " come to defeat Japan only AFTER they attack the US and mainly attack them as revenge rather helping the Asian nations, but they " heroes " huh? Lol ok 😂😂👌

@Kevin S Rich coming from the people thinking of themselves as heroes when all the while they were just helping themselves, Egotistic much? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Commander Red I’d bet you also blame USA for being too intrusive in world affairs in the same breath that you blame them for only defending themselves. You’re a bad troll.

@@andrewmasters5573 " Defending themselves " huh? The US homeland hasn't been attacked once since the end of WW2( in fact it wasn't even attack much at all during WW2 compared to other nations), but u still are " defending urselfs " huh? Lol ok, i guess u need to defend against those made up weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and as such before they could be used u leveled a entire country based on speculations and assumption, very righteous indeed. I see i have been mistaken, since America must defend itself by striking first and taking out potential enemies before they strike. So all these wars and proxy wars the US has been waging are just to " defend " themselves since clearly these countries are quite close to the US in terms of economy and military prowess and definitely could pose a serious threat. Yes the USA = Just, Rest of the world = evil, yes thank you fair American brave hero for opening my eyes. I too now shall subscribe to that nationalism propogenda that ur government has-been feeding so i too can see how US constantly fights and invades countries to " defend themselves " 😮

Commander Red u contradict yourself I’m done with you troll

This was the exception, not the norm. Do more research, and you will find there was plenty of rivalry in US military groups

Who wouldn’t? I came from one of the countries they conquered and the atrocities they did was unimaginable.. They deserved their fate many times over!

@@kysike666 Yeah but pretty much all of them are dead now. It's important to remember history but no point in remaining angry at ghosts

He sounds like an adolescent quarterback in a high school corridor. Just missing a varsity jacket. Pointless patriotic chest thumping. He spoke a lot and said nothing. The Cdr was a bit more insightful but then I suppose that's the difference.

@@Quantiad those are the men who actually do things.

I dont think so.. he's not mad . He is just trying to send a clear message to other powerful countries today - "Don't mess with us"

Hello Japan: Surprise! and hello China bigger surprise. They never talk about OUR blunder when this raid is heralded: The Chinese were not expecting our bombers because we gave them the wrong date! We did not calculate crossing the International Date Line!

It did but miss

That's just the baseline marine lol

Lol I remember iran saying you can't do anything then ka boom!

Comes with being a Marine. We don't expect a civilian to understand it.

@@snigie1 Since when Iran said that?

@@Leny1777 hey there! Just before America smoked that general, they put out this tweet that started with 1: You can't do anything. Yeah, not a good start guys! They learnt soon after!

Pyramid ✴️ Aliens 👽 took over too

There is, check out Mark Felton Production's video's. You'll love them. Everyone says they're what History Channel should be.

Yes Mark Felton p Productions... outstanding in every way extremely well researched and presented I look forward to his videos daily...

Small and insignificant.

Cavalier and Hollywoodish.

Joshua Lin YESSSSS

I play that song when flying my Bombushka In Gta

Japan is a dumb,ignorant nation so as China and N Korea.

@@crisantorivera14 I wouldn't call Japan dumb. It just so happen they were being led by actual dumb leaders. Just like how Germany was. Germany is one of the greatest country of Europe if not the best but was just led by tyrannical governments.

Right man US just showed that they are always two steps forward Japan and that's why they are considered superpower

@@crisantorivera14 you reveal your uber ignorance calling nations dumb. Grow up, read and perhaps even go back to school so that hopefully, one day, you can write a complete sentence properly. (even if it does shed further light on your mental limitations)

Not might, but would, I believe.

I saw what you did there!

@@jnstonbely5215 Far from accurate, but okay...

Jayjay battle of midway movie shows a little more of the Doolittle raid

Dude watch Pearl Harbor

End User lol noticed that too. They tried lol

Good point. Also, narrators always talk like everyone is that one person who made the comment. Some sailors had it figured out pretty quickly. My Dad was on the Enterprise (probably the one person there who was later "Knighted".

Good comment but: They never talk about HIS blunder when this raid is heralded: The Chinese were not expecting our bombers because we gave them the wrong date! We did not calculate crossing the International Date Line!

@Nguyễn Minh Hiếu Miku Hatsune thay did but showed mercy to the good people and rebuilt it to let the world know we are BETTER !

I usually keep negative comments to myself and I’m sorry but this is terribly unfunny 😂

John Rodriguez you need help

The US Air Force as a branch of the US Military did not exist in 1942.
