B-25 Mitchell Medium Bomber

The North American B-25 Mitchell was an American twin-engine medium bomber used in many theaters during the Second World War. It became famous for the Doolittle Raid but also undertook conventional bombing, low-level attack, and maritime missions.

Sixteen B-25Bs launched from USS Hornet in April 1942 for the raid on Japan, an exceptional use of a land-based bomber rather than its normal operating method. In the southwest Pacific, gun-equipped versions became effective low-level attackers against shipping and airfields. Other aircraft retained glazed bombardier positions for more conventional missions. Production exceeded nine thousand, and Allied export service broadened the type’s reach. These varied versions make the Mitchell a particularly adaptable medium-bomber family.
