Bombers take off from flight deck of USS Hornet in World War II

The transcript describes the challenges faced by the B-25 aircraft, including safety concerns and additional fuel needs. Despite these issues, the aircraft managed to take off under difficult conditions, such as rough seas and short runways. The success was attributed to months of specialized training, allowing the planes to safely take off from the Hornet's unstable deck. The aircraft then flew at an extremely low altitude of 20 feet over the ocean.
