Описание: Fall Asleep To | The ENTIRE History of Doolittle Raid | America’s Bold Strike | WW2 War Documentary

Drift into history with the ENTIRE story of the Doolittle Raid — America’s bold strike against Japan in April 1942. Just months after Pearl Harbor, sixteen B-25 Mitchell bombers launched from the deck of the USS Hornet in a daring mission led by Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle. Their target: Tokyo and the heart of Imperial Japan.

This long-form WW2 documentary explores every detail — the planning, the training, the risks of launching medium bombers from an aircraft carrier, and the dramatic raid itself. Follow the crews as they braved anti-aircraft fire, dwindling fuel, and uncertain landings in China and the Soviet Union. Discover the Japanese response, the U.S. morale boost, and the raid’s lasting impact on strategy in the Pacific.

Told in a calm, immersive style, this film is perfect for relaxing, studying, or falling asleep to while learning about one of the most audacious missions of the Second World War.
