thanks GM. I will pursue that route you suggested (Doolitteraider.com) and see what I can find.

Look at Doolittleraider.com

Caveat- I do not know if it's accurate information.

There is the order of takeoff, with the BuNo of each plane, plus a lot of photos.

They were moved around at least once during the trip. Also there's two distinct phases of the trip- storage and then takeoff positions.

During the attack trip the a/c were covered, then uncovered, props taken off and maintaned then replaced.

I'm doing mine in morning of attack take off positions.

There were a couple of other a/c on deck, an SBD and a couple of Wildcats.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
