Some current history.
1. DOOLITTLE'S RAIDERS-- Three of the five remaining members of Doolittle's Raid will be on hand for the March 26-27 Punta Gorda (Florida) Air Show. They are Richard Cole (Doolittle's copilot), Thomas C. griffin and David J. Thatcher.
2. HMAS SYDNEY-- The shipwrecks of the HMAS Sydney and German raider Kormoran were added to Australia's National Heritage List. Both ships were sunk in a violent sea battle on November 19, 1941. All 645 Australians aboard the Sydney died as did 60 Germans.
The wrecks of these two ships were discovered in 2008 off the coast of Western Australia.
It Won't Be Long Before There are No Doolittle's Raiders Left. --Cooter
