On April 12, 1861, the bombing and the capture of Fort Sumter by the Confederate forces in Charleston, South Carolina, marks the beginning of the American Civil War , which will last four years. With 620 000 dead and 410 000 wounded, more than all other conflicts combined, the ACW remains today as the deadliest known by the United States.

April 18, 1942


After taking off from the USS Hornet almost 1000 km off the coast of Japan, 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers of the squadron leaded by Lieutenant-Colonel James Harold Doolittle reach Tokyo and proceed to the first American bombing raid on Japan .

Implemented in a very unfavorable context for the United States, which were at the lowest since the attack on Pearl Harbor, the operation was to make an impression, both for Japan who thought unattainable by U.S. forces, as for the United States which so thought of provoking a moral surge for their forces and their population. From this point of view, we can consider the Doolittle mission as a success because, although human and material damages on Tokyo have remained relatively limited, the psychological impact was significant in Japan, struck at the heart of the symbol that represented Tokyo.

Some more about bombing Japan. Here's the 1st part, you can find the rest
on Youtube or the owner's channel.



Not sure if this is the same bombing, but it's footage from japanese side
taking out the bombers and some US P-51's, I think, strafing into Japan:

"Straight and narrow is the path."
