Early on the morning of April 18, 1942 sixteen Michell B-25 bomber aircraft sat ready for take off on the pitching deck of the aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Hornet. The mission: to bomb Tokyo and other key cities in Japan that day. This attack which was America's first retalitory strike against Japan would be so decisive that it would ultimately lead to the turning point in the war with Japanese forces with the subsequent Japanese counter attack and defeat at Midway in June 1942.
Sitting in the right seat of the 1st B-25 to take off from the U.S.S. Hornet and serving as Jimmy Doolittle's co-pilot was (then) 2nd Lt. Richard Cole.
On board the ninth B-25 to take off from the deck of the U.S.S. Hornet and serving as navigator was (then) 2nd Lt.Thomas C. Griffin.
Presented is a RARE opportunity to obtain a 1/41 scale model of the B-25 used on this daring mission with autographs by two crew members of the famed "DooLittle Raiders"!
The B-25 features movable propellers, authentic colors and markings, control surface and body panel line detailing and comes with a natural fine finished mahogany wood display base. The model is removable from the base and has an information plate attached.
Also attached on the base is a specially designed and painted plate that has been personally autographed by Richard Cole and Thomas Griffin. A certificate of authenticity is included that has brief biographies about both of the men and their service.
This aircraft is #130 signed in the series.
Truely this is an historical autographed aircraft display model that no serious collector should be without. It will compliment and accent any aircraft display, museum or collection.
