Aviation Boatswain's Mate 3rd Class Dawn M. DeVerna directs a restored B-25 Mitchell bomber to a parking spot on the air field. The bomber and other B-25s are at North Island to practice for a re-enactment of the April 18, 1942, raid of B-25s, the "Doolittle Raiders," launched from the aircraft carrier USS HORNET (CV-8) in the first U.S. attack on Japan's homeland during World War II. The re-enactment will take place April 21, 1992, from the aircraft carrier USS RANGER (CV-61) near San Diego
