That wonderful Yorktown class of carriers, (Yorktown
(CV-5), Enterprise (CV-6) and Hornet, basically
saved the U.S. in the early days of World War II. The Hornet stung
the Japanese with Doolittle's B-25 bomber raid on Japan. The Doolittle raid was
the brainchild of Captain Donald B. 'Wu' Duncan, Admiral King's air operations
officer. Hornet followed this raid by stopping the Japanese at
Midway Island. Hornet's final battle at Santa Cruz Island stopped
the Japanese re-supply at Guadalcanal. It is my opinion that the battle of Santa
Cruz Island was the turning point of the war.
