Roosevelt at the White House for planning and leading his raid on Japan. Doolittle received the Medal of Honor from President Franklin D.
All aircraft reached their target, thus the long-term strategic implications of the heroic raid proved immensely important to the outcome of the war in the Pacific. Having launched from the USS Hornet and circled the aircraft carrier, Jimmy Doolittle is seen making an overhead pass checking his compass heading, as other B-25s follow him into the air. Doolittle carried the Battle of the Pacific to the heart of the Japanese Empire when he led 16 B-25 Mitchells in a daring raid on military targets at Tokyo, Yokohama, Yokosuka, Nagoya, and Kobe.

Every time the mercurial Wing Leader crossed the French coast he would announce: "Bader’s Bus Company on time". The painting depicts a peaceful prelude to what will inevitably become an intense dogfight for the younger pilots and takes its unusual name from the witty message chalked up on one of the Wing’s notice boards – ‘Bader’s Bus Company – daily tickets to the Continent – Return tickets only!’. Robert Taylor’s famous painting portrays Spitfires of the Tangmere Wing flying a southerly course towards the Pas de Calais and doubtless another engagement with Adolf Galland’s ‘Abbeville Boys’. The glorious colors of sunrise glint on the sleek fighters as they streak out over the early morning cumulus clouds.
