They are very much in love, but giving up never occurs to them. </p><p>The intensive training includes learning how to take off on a runway only 500 feet long as taught by an instructor <a href="/wiki/Naval_Aviator" class="mw-redirect" title="Naval Aviator">Naval Aviator</a> from nearby <a href="/wiki/NAS_Pensacola" class="mw-redirect" title="NAS Pensacola">Pensacola Naval Air Station</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They are not told why, and those who guess keep quiet. Lawson's plane acquires the nickname "Ruptured Duck" and <a href="/wiki/Nose_art" title="Nose art">nose art</a> to match.

When an enemy surface vessel does discover the convoy, the crews assemble to take off immediately—12 hours earlier than planned. It will be daylight over Japan and night when they reach China. Doolittle leads the raid, dropping <a href="/wiki/Incendiary_device" title="Incendiary device">incendiary bombs</a> to mark key targets. The Ruptured Duck is the seventh flight. Flying low over the ocean and into Tokyo, through the smoke of burning targets, dropping their bombs as planned. Flak bursts around them, but fighters ignore them. </p><p>The Ruptured Duck continues on until running low on fuel approaching the Chinese coast. Lawson crashes in the surf while trying to land on a beach in darkness and heavy rain. With the exception of Thatcher, the entire crew is badly injured in the crash. Lawson's left leg is laid open to the bone, and McClure's shoulders are broken. Friendly Chinese soldiers help them, and the Americans face hardships and danger while being escorted through Japanese-held territory. In the absence of any medical supplies, the injured men endure terrible pain, and Lawson's leg becomes infected. Delirious, he dreams of Ellen. </p><p>There is a <a href="/wiki/Red_Cross_Society_of_China" title="Red Cross Society of China">Red Cross</a> banner in the village of XingMing. Doctor Chung arrives with good news and bad. He will take them to his father's hospital, some 19 miles farther. The bad news is that the Japanese have captured an American crew. Hurrying into the hills, they look back: XingMing is burning. </p><p>There is no surgeon at the elder Dr. Chung's hospital, but Lt. Smith's crew is on its way with Lt. "Doc" White, who volunteered as gunner. The Japanese approach, and the able-bodied Americans leave, except for Doc. He amputates Lawson's leg well above the knee, using the single dose of <a href="/wiki/Spinal_anaesthesia" title="Spinal anaesthesia">spinal anesthesia</a> in their possession. It wears off too soon. Lawson passes out and dreams of Ellen. </p><p>A chorus of <a href="/wiki/Scouting_and_Guiding_in_mainland_China" title="Scouting and Guiding in mainland China">Scouts</a> singing "<a href="/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner" title="The Star-Spangled Banner">The Star-Spangled Banner</a>", in <a href="/wiki/Mandarin_Chinese" title="Mandarin Chinese">Mandarin</a>, celebrate Lawson's first day out of bed. When the elder Dr. Chung gives Lawson an heirloom bracelet for his wife, Lawson is puzzled. He does not remember talking about her. When he totters on his crutches, he becomes distraught at the idea of Ellen seeing him without a leg. They hurry to <a href="/wiki/Changzhou" title="Changzhou">Ch'ang Chou</a> to rendezvous with an American plane that takes them home. </p><p>General Doolittle visits Lawson in the hospital and tells him he has work for him to do. Lawson doesn't want to see Ellen until he obtains a prosthetic leg and learns to walk properly. Ellen arrives unannounced. Lawson forgets his missing leg and stands; he falls and Ellen rushes to him and the two embrace on the floor, overjoyed to see each other. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Thirty_Seconds_Over_Tokyo&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1237032888/mw-parser-output/.tmulti">.mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner{display:flex;flex-direction:column}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{display:flex;flex-direction:row;clear:left;flex-wrap:wrap;width:100%;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{margin:1px;float:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .theader{clear:both;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;align-self:center;background-color:transparent;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbcaption{background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-left{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-right{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-center{text-align:center}@media all and (max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbinner{width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:none!important;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{justify-content:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{float:none!important;max-width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle .thumbcaption{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow>.thumbcaption{text-align:center}}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}</style><div class="thumb tmulti tright"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:164px;max-width:164px"><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:152px;max-width:152px"><div class="thumbimage"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:30SOT_trailer_04_Van_Johnson.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/30SOT_trailer_04_Van_Johnson.jpg/150px-30SOT_trailer_04_Van_Johnson.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="149" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/30SOT_trailer_04_Van_Johnson.jpg/225px-30SOT_trailer_04_Van_Johnson.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/30SOT_trailer_04_Van_Johnson.jpg/300px-30SOT_trailer_04_Van_Johnson.jpg 2x" data-file-width="478" data-file-height="474" /></a></span></div><div class="thumbcaption">Van Johnson</div></div></div><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:134px;max-width:134px"><div class="thumbimage"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:30SOT_trailer_06_Robert_Walker_crop.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/30SOT_trailer_06_Robert_Walker_crop.JPG/132px-30SOT_trailer_06_Robert_Walker_crop.JPG" decoding="async" width="132" height="149" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/30SOT_trailer_06_Robert_Walker_crop.JPG/198px-30SOT_trailer_06_Robert_Walker_crop.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/30SOT_trailer_06_Robert_Walker_crop.JPG/264px-30SOT_trailer_06_Robert_Walker_crop.JPG 2x" data-file-width="394" data-file-height="445" /></a></span></div><div class="thumbcaption">Robert Walker</div></div></div><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:162px;max-width:162px"><div class="thumbimage"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:30SOT_trailer_10_Doolittle_in_DC.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/30SOT_trailer_10_Doolittle_in_DC.JPG/160px-30SOT_trailer_10_Doolittle_in_DC.JPG" decoding="async" width="160" height="149" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/30SOT_trailer_10_Doolittle_in_DC.JPG/240px-30SOT_trailer_10_Doolittle_in_DC.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/30SOT_trailer_10_Doolittle_in_DC.JPG/320px-30SOT_trailer_10_Doolittle_in_DC.JPG 2x" data-file-width="508" data-file-height="474" /></a></span></div><div class="thumbcaption">Spencer Tracy</div></div></div></div></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Van_Johnson" title="Van Johnson">Van Johnson</a> as <a href="/wiki/First_lieutenant#United_States" title="First lieutenant">Captain</a> <a href="/wiki/Ted_W._Lawson" title="Ted W.
