It is probably the greatest expression of American military greatness that we have ever seen.
True bombers off of a WW2 carrier deck on a one way trip just because we wanted to hit them so bad we tried that craziness.

And the crews knew there was no way they were coming back to the safety of the carriers and the odds of finding friendly forces in China were not that good.
And they were fully aware their bombers could not carry enough bombs to where they could do enough damage to be of any real damage.
