“With the destruction these aircraft can bring to bear, just the mere presence of them is enough to change the enemy’s mind.”
This video perfectly sums up the awesome capabilities of our strategic bombers to include the B-1 Lancer, B-2 Spirit and the B-52 Stratofortress.

#OnThisDay in 1942, from the carrier USS Hornet, located 668 miles off Tokyo, Lt. Col. James Doolittle led 16 B-25s in the first raid on Japan. The range of the mission caused the raiders to crash land in China. The attack caused little damage; however, the mission raised U.S. morale and broke a trend of Japanese victories. Doolittle later received the Medal of Honor for leading the mission.
Also, #DidYouKnow... Ellsworth is home to three of the original Doolittle squadrons - 34th Bomb Squadron, 37th Bomb Squadron and 89th Attack Squadron.
