The performance above is by the web poster, so it isn't copyright.
Red River Dave used "Wabash Cannonball" for the music, so that's
public domain. The lyrics themselves are (c) Red River Dave, who only
died two years ago (the song was written in 1937) so they're still in
copyright, but the radio station's BMI contract may cover that.

Q: What was the Doolittle Raid?

A: See:

An amazing story of military audacity: Using the Navy to launch heavy
Army bombers (B-25s) against Tokyo on April 18, 1942, the immediate
effect was the destruction of the city's tinderbox slums, with great
loss of civilian life, but it precipitated the battle of Midway, a
month and a half later, in which four Japanese carriers were lost,
permanently crippling the Japanese Navy.


Q: Who was the first test pilot to roll a civilian jetliner?

A: Tex Johnson, August 7, 1955. I think you must have that on your
site. But if not, see:
