Flying at sea is quite boring.
Below is the boundless blue sea. You can see the horizon in the distance, showing the outline of an arc. Where the sea and sky meet, you can't tell whether it's the sea or the blue sky. In this way, you keep flying and flying. The front is still the same scenery, and you can't see the end.
"We are now on the Atlantic route." Bessel listened to the voice of the following navigator Antonio through the intercom: "we will continue to fly for another 12 hours."
Now, the bomber force has flown to an altitude of 10000 meters. The special two-stage turbocharger provides sufficient air to the engine, so that the piston engine can work normally.
Germany has invested a lot in the development of superchargers. After all, the high-altitude air is thin. Only an efficient supercharger can make the engine have sufficient air intake. Otherwise, the power will be reduced sharply.
This is also the disadvantage of piston engine. Therefore, Germany is vigorously developing turbine engine. Now it is the sunset era of piston fighter.
Twelve hours is definitely a long voyage. In this flight, it is a great test for the pilot's physical strength.
"Note that according to the distribution, rest in batches." Beschel said. He unfastened his seat belt and pushed open the back door. Inside, there was a three-story sleeper area.
With the continuous development of technology, Germany has been able to manufacture relatively large pressurized cabin sections. The high-altitude air is thin. If there is no pressurized cabin, they will be unconscious in an instant.
This large pressurized cabin can also be equipped with simple berths for personnel to rest. It is very important to maintain physical strength during flight.
Only the left behind pilots are still dedicated to operating the aircraft and monitoring the data of various instruments. According to the allocation, they will rotate in four hours.
Five large junker-390 bombers were flying correctly on the civil aviation line. There are still more than ten hours before their mission.
Flying at high altitude is very pleasant, and at the other end of the earth, 16 B-25 bombers are about to reach their destination.
The B-25 is not a pressurized cockpit. The pilot must wear an oxygen mask in the cockpit, otherwise he will be unconscious due to lack of oxygen at high altitude.
When wearing the oxygen mask, everyone will look very strange. Doolittle has no time to care about the ugly pig nose. His task is very arduous.
Because of the early departure, he must plan the route. Only by flying into the high air first can he save fuel. The high-altitude air is thin, and the air resistance will be greatly reduced.
However, it is not safe to continue at high altitude. If it is found by the other party's fighter, it is a dead end. There are no self-defense machine guns on their aircraft.
"There are still 300 nautical miles from the island country." Said Lieutenant Porter, the navigator.
"Keep high and fly a hundred nautical miles." "At a distance of 200 nautical miles, turn into ultra-low altitude and form a group of two planes," Doolittle said
The B-25 bomber continued to fly at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour for 20 minutes.
"Attention, enter ultra-low altitude and fly close to the sea." Doolittle gave the order calmly.
The B-25 bomber slowly lowered its altitude with a small glide angle, made full use of the aircraft's energy and descended in the most fuel-efficient way.
This is the old technology. Although Doolittle was the first to take off, so far, the fuel consumption of his plane is the smallest.
As the altitude gradually decreased, the sea became closer and closer. When there were still 100 meters from the sea, Doolittle slowly leveled the plane.
From a beast in the sky to a monster flying close to the ground on the sea, the B-25 bomber continues to move forward.
At this time, Lieutenant Porter is the most nervous.
Their bombing opportunity is also only once. When they fly over the island country, it is impossible to turn around and fly back. Tokyo is in the easternmost part of the island country. If they miss the target, they will have no chance.
Flying on the sea, there is no reference. As long as there is a slight deviation in the route, the accumulated error is enough to let them miss Tokyo.
Only throwing bombs over Tokyo is the most meaningful!
Lieutenant porter looked down in the sight as he marked on the chart.
Time passed little by little. They had flown for more than four hours. It was about 12 o'clock in Tokyo time.
Suddenly, Lieutenant Porter was excited: "we have seen land ahead. We are about to enter the sky over the island country!"
Tokyo is in the Tokyo Bay. There is a city outside. As long as you find the city accurately, you can correct the course!
He stared his eyes into the sight. At this time, he felt his heart beating faster.
"The course deviates from the scheduled course by two degrees and adjusts to the right." Cried Lieutenant Potter.
Without advanced navigation equipment, he successfully found the target only by relying on chart and compass, which is a miracle!
On the ground, several old farmers who were working raised their heads, looked at the planes flying in the sky and waved to them.
They are not professional and can't identify the model of the aircraft, but now, only the island country's own aircraft can fly here.
Go on, boys, beat the Yankees! An old farmer shouted.
Under the propaganda of the island government, the whole island country is shouting war, and fools are the best to encourage.
Even at the end of World War II, it was the same. When the island country was ready to surrender, the high-level immediately surrendered, but those ordinary people still insisted and refused to surrender.
Bombers, keep moving, one, two, three. Sixteen bombers all flew over their destination without error!
12:30 Tokyo time.
"We have reached over Tokyo!" With his eyes firmly fixed on the sight, Lieutenant Porter shouted, "looking for a target."
Although the islanders secretly attacked Pearl Harbor, they did not directly bomb civilian targets. Therefore, American bombers flew over Tokyo and could not throw bombs indiscriminately.
Soon, Lieutenant Porter found the target, a large factory. It must produce weapons for the island country. Blow it up there!
"Attention, enter the bombing route, keep flying in a straight line and prepare to drop bombs."
At noon in Tokyo, it is not lively.
There are not many people on the streets, and most of them look tired. The external expansion of the island country has made the war machine of the whole island country run at high speed. Even the people working on the island country have a workload several times larger than usual.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
