For those of you that follow or like bombers and or the crews that flew them, the Doolittle Raiders Reunion is going to take place this April at the Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio.

Doolittle Raiders Reunion

I thought they always had that reunion in Tuscon? Guess not. It was back there a few years ago, and my aunt was able to go to it and talk with many of the crew. She even got my the biography of their mission and got it autographed by a few of the members that were still alive. Give me a few minutes, I'll put up some pics Smile
