Three of the four living veterans of the Doolittle Raid on Japan in 1942 met at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force on 9 November 2013 to drink a final and long-awaited toast to all 80 Doolittle Raiders. They uncorked a special 1896 cognac from General Doolittle that had been kept for this purpose for more than 50 years. Airailimages presents this video of highlights from the ceremony, edited from extensive Department of Defense video coverage.
