I want to learn about the history of log flumes. I mean the old logging infrastructure, not the amusement park ride. Please tell me things and/or recommend books.

In Michael Bay's "Pearl Harbor" (2001), two experienced US Army fighter pilots are trained to fly bombers and ultimately participate in the Doolittle Raid. Is there any historical basis for such a thing happening?

Has there ever been a battle between two trains? Such as in Buster Keaton's "The General" (1926), where two steam trains are going the same direction on the same track and firing back and forth at one another? What about trains on different tracks trying to take each other out?
