Chapter 987： Enter U.S. airspace (1/2)

Because they took off three hundred nautical miles ahead of schedule, their fuel would definitely be insufficient. This kind of accident is not what anyone wants to see, but since it has already appeared, it is helpless.

Roosevelt wanted to promote Doolittle to brigadier general, but now Doolittle has no news at all.

No one knows where they are, they have completely lost contact.

”Yes.” Roosevelt exclaimed: ”It is precisely because of this that the image of Brigadier General Doolittle will be even taller. Now, let's announce this to the public. Our soldiers are not afraid of death. When the war comes. At this time, they are willing to dedicate their blood and lives for the sake of their motherland. We need soldiers like this!”

Regardless of whether Doolittle has been killed or not, Doolittle and others have already used practical actions to boost the morale of the people across the country, and they will also play a role model and take the lead. The war has just begun, and the United States must pay a lot to win this war. A big price, one Dolittle falls, and thousands of Dolittles stand up!

Roosevelt was confident of this.

For the Americans, this is a memorable day. The Doolittle bombing did not bring much terrible cost to the island nation, but it greatly boosted the morale of the people and won the war. The matter of Pearl Harbor , Will not reappear for the second time!

Unfortunately, the facts will soon be a blow to the top American leaders.

A long voyage is a great test of physical strength, even if it is resting on an airplane, it will definitely not be as comfortable as on the ground.

For example, now, the Junker-390 bomber in high altitude, after almost twelve hours of long flight, finally, in the dark night sky, I saw the bright light in the distance.

After entering the war, it is necessary to carry out light control, even a light bulb will be particularly dazzling in the dark.

Not to mention the brightly lit big city.

”The course is right, Morhead City ahead, pay attention, we are about to enter the sky above the United States.” After repeated comparisons, Antonio said in the intercom to the other people on the plane.

”This is the first time we have come in without a visa.” Bescher said jokingly: ”Now, with our spirits, our journey has just begun.”

Tennessee is not on the coastline, but inland. It needs to cross North Carolina to fly to it. This long flight is only now officially in state.

On the land of the United States, it takes two hours to continue flying to reach the target. In this process, the accuracy of navigation is even more important!

”Don't worry, Captain, we won't get lost.” Antonio said.

The long sea flight is prone to get lost, because the sky and the sea are the same color, there are not many reference objects, but now it is different, there are too many big cities along the way, as long as the big cities appear in sequence on the route, you can reach the target sky!

Only before approaching the target, more precise navigation is needed.

In front, there is the second city, Fayetteville, um, exactly the same as my own judgment, the course is completely correct!

Oak Ridge.

This was originally a peaceful countryside, but unfortunately, the nearby construction sites made the town a little noisy.

”It makes people unable to fall asleep!” Old James sat up from his bed. During the day and night, there was constant noise coming from him, making him often insomnia, while the wife next to him seemed unaffected and slept. Gotta go.

Old James couldn't fall asleep, he sat up, lit a cigarette, and walked out slowly.
