In 1941, the United States was suddenly thrown into World War II.
To demonstrate the power of America and boost the morale of its people, a plan to bomb Japan using B-25's launched from an aircraft carrier became the legendary Doolittle Raid. Now a restored B-25 "Maid In The Shade" returns to Pappy Boyington Field in August 2012 ready to again take flight as part of "Heritage Wings" Over Lake Coeur d'Alene.
