The Doolittle's Raiders will be based at F10. After hitting first targets at F153 and F141, we may need to rebase at F32, depending on enemy traffic.
Targets: F153 (sortie #1) F141 (sortie #1) F191 (sortie #2)
Plane: IL2 (various loadouts)
Flying NOE to targets along the river from F10 to F153 and F141. We will not be on enemy radar during entire first sortie.
Request: 4th FG and any other Fighter Groups available to cover us would be helpful. We'd like to have our fighter cover to move to cap the area around F193 as a diversion. Then, once we begin hitting the targets, we may need you to fall back over us.
Request #2: On second sortie, we'd like to have our fighter cover to clear us into F193.
Thanks, Darryl <S> CO of Doolittle's Raiders
