l, if he can do it...
1692
02:18:35,724 --> 02:18:39,273
Well, gentlemen, now I can tell you
that we're going to Tokyo.
1693
02:18:40,964 --> 02:18:43,558
And we're gonna bomb it.
1694
02:18:48,164 --> 02:18:52,442
That comes as a special request
directly from President Roosevelt.
1695
02:18:52,524 --> 02:18:56,915
The navy's gonna sneak us about
400 miles off the Japanese coast,
and we'll launch from the carrier there.
1696
02:18:57,004 --> 02:19:00,917
Has that ever even been done before?
Taking army bombers off a navy carrier?
1697
02:19:01,004 --> 02:19:02,995
No.
1698
02:19:03,084 --> 02:19:03,994
Okay.
1699
02:19:04,084 --> 02:19:06,473
- Any other questions?
- Well, sir...
1700
02:19:06,564 --> 02:19:09,920
is it even possible to land a B-25
on an aircraft carrier deck?
1701
02:19:10,004 --> 02:19:11,995
That won't matter.
1702
02:19:12,084 --> 02:19:14,917
As soon as we're airborne, the carrier
will head straight back for Hawaii.
1703
02:19:15,004 --> 02:19:17,120
But if the carriers head home,
where do we land?
1704
02:19:17,204 --> 02:19:19,923
I have a phrase
I want you to memorize.
1705
02:19:24,404 --> 02:19:26,713
It means "I am an American."
1706
02:19:28,244 --> 02:19:29,836
In Chinese.
1707
02:19:31,004 --> 02:19:35,043
Ain't gonna be any easier. That's three
feet shorter than our practice runway.
1708
02:19:35,124 --> 02:19:37,035
- Fellas?
- Sir.
1709
02:19:38,204 --> 02:19:39,523
Sir.
1710
02:19:41,164 --> 02:19:45,362
- Secretary of the navy gave me these.
- What are they?
1711
02:19:45,444 --> 02:19:48,834
Friendship medals the Japanese gave us
when they were pretending
they wanted peace.
1712
02:19:48,924 --> 02:19:52,712
- What do they want you
to do with them, sir?
- We're gonna wire them
to the bombs and give them back.
1713
02:19:56,884 --> 02:19:59,876
- So what's going on?
- Well, sir, we only have 16 planes.
1714
02:19:59,964 --> 02:20:01,113
So?
1715
02:20:01,204 --> 02:20:03,843
When the Japs hit us,
they had more than 300.
1716
02:20:03,924 --> 02:20:06,484
I mean, how much differ
