Guests of the Kremlin

On April 18, 1942, 16 B-25 Bombers took off from the Aircraft Carrier USS Hornet. They bombed Tokyo and four other cities in Japan. This was the famous Doolittle Raid, a turning point in World War II. One crew landed in the Soviet Union and were held prisoner there until they escaped. This is their story.

Colonel Robert G. Emmens retired from the US Air Force in 1964 and returned to Medford, Oregon, his hometown. He died there on April 2, 1992.
