Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Billed third, Spencer Tracy plays Lt. Col. James P. Doolittle, who led the bombing raid over Tokyo. Most of the footage concerns pilot Ted Lawson (Van Johnson), who loses a leg while escaping from China after the attack; other subplots concern the meticulous preparations for the raid, and the individual exploits of those Doolittle flyers who crashed into the sea or were captured by the Japanese. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Based on the book and Collier's story by Captain Ted W. Lawson and Robert Considine.

Originally produced as a motion picture in 1944.

Special features: Academy Award-nominated "Pete Smith specialty" short "Movie pests;" vintage "Passing parade" short "A lady fights back;" classic cartoon "Bear raid warden;" theatrical trailer.
