During World War II, the surviving crew members of the US Army Air Corps bombing raid on Tokyo, led by Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle, gather in Red Wing. They are joined by Chinese villagers who had rescued some of the airmen after they crash landed or parachuted into the nearby sea, or China, after the attack. Organized by a Red Wing-area resident who had led an expedition to China in 1990 to try to recover remains of raid bombers, the reunion also honors Doolittle, who is unable to attend.
