Lt. Col. Dick Cole in the Panchito! |
We are proud to welcome at Wings & Wheels 2013, one of the 4 surviving Doolittle Raiders - Lt. Col. Dick Cole. Dick was co-pilot to Jimmy Doolittle, mission commander. This raid on Tokyo on April 19, 1942, caused minor damage but it forced the Japanese to recall its forces. The B-25 bomber (pictured) used in the raid, was the largest aircraft at the time from the deck of a carrier--the USS Hornet. Click here for more information! |

Here is a picture of the Foot Light Productions troupe that performed Friday night at the WWII Stage Door Camp Show to a sell out crowd of over 300! They are standing in front of Larry Kelley's B-25 Bomber!
A Cabaret Show portraying USO Canteen and Road show that is a salute to the men and women who served our country during the second World War. Songs like "You’ll Never Know", "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and "Stardust" just to mention a few, bridged the separation and gave us the strength and pride to go against “the foe”. The show, presented by Foot Light Productions, performed to a sell-out crowd of over 300. |
