First of all the Doolittle Raid was done with B-25 Mitchell Bombers not a B-29 Super fortress (It's too big for the deck of the Carriers) The B-29 was the bomber that attack the city. It was called Enola Gay after the Pilot's mother. It took off from the Mariana Island.

It was the ENOLA GAY, and it took off from Tinian Island in the Northern Marianas (a small island near Guam).
