Were aircraft attached to the decks of aircraft carriers to use their engine thrust to assist in steering?
- While aboard the USS Bonn Homme Richard ( CVA 31 ) in the late 50's I personally observed this being done, with AD's, at almost every port that we entered, especially in Japan. The AD had a prop arc of 13'6" and was rated at 3,350 hp. The AD pilots really did complain, just as shown in the movie. From a retired air-traffic controller, who was also good friends with several AD drivers. - If you watch the movie "The Bridges at Toko-Ri" you can see this being done when a carrier comes into port in Japan, as the previous answer says.
What aircraft carrier has number 34 on flight deck?
The USS Oriskany was CV 34. She was an Essex Class aircraft carrier, built during WWII. She was rebuilt to operate jets, with an angled flight deck, and earned battle stars during Korea and Vietnam. She was decommissioned in 1976, and sold for scrap in the 1990s. However she was repossessed for lack of progress in the scrapping, and in 2006 was sunk off the coast of Florida to provide an artificial reef. The "Mighty O" was named for the Revolutionary War Battle of Oriskany. Republican Senator and presidential candidate John McCain was shot down while flying off the Oriskany. She was the flattop in the William Holden movie "The Bridges at Toko Ri" and was in several other movies. The Discovery Channel did a documentary about her sinking as an artificial reef.
Leader of the squad that first bombed japan?
I think you must mean General (then Colonel) James Doolittle. The "Doolittle Raiders" were sixteen medium bombers, B-25s, launched from an aircraft carrier, the USS Hornet. These were army bombers, much heavier than navy planes, and not intended to take off from a carrier. Carriers at the time did not have catapults to sling airplanes off the deck. The wings of these bombers did not fold like naval planes did, so only sixteen could be fitted on the deck, and none could be gotten down onto the hanger deck. Because the Hornet's deck was covered with these bombers she would be unable to operate her normal naval planes, and so had to be escorted by another carrier, the USS Enterprise. The US had only three aircraft carriers in the Pacific at the time so hazarding two of them on this mission was quite a risk to run. The mission is fairly well portrayed in the recent "Pearl Harbor" movie and was the subject of a much older, black-and-white film, "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo".The mission was on April 18, 1942. Little real damage was done to the four Japanese cities bombed, but the psychological effect was enormous, depressing the Japanese and giving a huge boost to American morale, only 4 1/2 months after Pearl Harbor. Colonel Doolittle went on to an illustrious career during the war, and was awarded the Medal of Honor for the raid on Japan.

What is the name of the movie where a US aircraft carrier goes back in time to world war 2 prior the pear harbor?
the Final Countdown with Kirk Douglas commanding a modern Nimitz class carrier thru a time porthole (a very strange storm) to the moments just before Pearl Harbor. And, just as amazing, he and the ship and crew are transported to the vicinity of Pearl Harbor. The only redeeming feature of the silly film is the comical air combat scenes with a couple of Zeros actually trying to shout down F-14's - hilarious!
