INT. DANNY'S PLANE - DAY Danny calls back to his GUNNER, who is watching the fuel supply.
DANNY:
We got a 25-mile-an-hour head wind. How we doing with fuel?
GUNNER:
How do you think?
The gunner is already pouring gas into the tanks from the extra cans.
Anthony stands and moves back to the rear of the plane, pulls a piece of chalk from his pocket and writes on the nose of the bombs -- "For America," "For Pearl Harbor," "For the Arizona," "For Billy."
-- Rafe flies, lost in thought... -- Evelyn is back at Pearl, struggling to keep her mind on her work.
-- Danny is looking at his gauges, then at the picture in his shirt.
EXT. TOKYO - VARIOUS SHOTS - DAY It's a pleasant day, and the people of Tokyo are in a confident, happy mood. They're shopping, smiling, enjoying beautiful spring weather. The Emperor is on the garden of his palace having lunch.
EXT. SKIMMING OVER THE WAVES - DAY The American planes are coming.
INT. DOOLITTLE'S PLANE - DAY He and his navigator confer.
DOOLITTLE'S NAVIGATOR Time for the others to break off.
His copilot uses the flashes to signal the other planes.
They break off for their individual targets, every plane now on it's own.
INT. JAPANESE AIR DEFENSE STATION - DAY This is the nerve center of Tokyo's defense. An OFFICER receives a message and reports to his supervisor.
JAPANESE DEFENSE OFFICER Coastal stations report a low flying plane coming in off the sea.
SUPERVISOR:
From the sea?... That couldn't be right, it must be part of the air raid practice this morning.
EXT. SKIMMING OVER THE WAVES - DAY The planes reach the Japanese coastline, and start skimming over treetop level.
EXT. TOKYO - DAY The office of an anti-aircraft battery blows its whistle; his crew mount their guns and swerves them around. The officer whistle's again and checks his watch.
ANTI-AIRCRAFT OFFICER Not bad.
The crew dismount their guns; just a drill.
EXT. TOKYO - VARIOUS SHOTS - DAY The Japanese people are unaware of the drill. People are browsing through open-air shops, where new radios are turned on, playing music. And Tokyo Rose is talking -- in English and Japanese.
TOKYO ROSE (ON THE RADIO) It is another beautiful day in Tokyo, as all of Japan basks in a new day of victory.
INT. THE PLANES - DAY Coma, Danny's navigator, picks this up.
COMA:
Listen to this -- it's Tokyo Rose.
TOKYO ROSE (ON THE RADIO) Our brave sailors and soldiers, inspired by our divine Emperor, have pushed the Americans from the Pacific.
