Saturday, April 19, 2014 – The Anniversary of the Doolittle Raid
A Navy Major's Memoirs of USS Hornet CV-8 & the Doolittle Raid

The USS Hornet Museum will commemorate the anniversary of the Doolittle Raid by featuring a very special speaker. The Museum is pleased to present author and veteran LCDR USN Richard J. Nowatzki. As a young seaman fresh out of boot camp, Nowatzki was assigned to the USS Hornet (CV-8) before she was commissioned and remained part of her crew until she was sunk in combat in October 1942.

Rich will share his many fond memories of the Doolittle Raiders. The Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942 was the first U.S. air raid to strike the Japanese home islands during WWII. The mission is notable in that it was the only combat operation in which Army Air Force bombers were launched from an aircraft carrier, the USS Hornet CV-8.
