Even if the North American Aviation B-25 Mitchell had only
participated in the Doolittle Raid, it would have cemented its
place in history - but it did so much more. Whether flying
dangerous low-level strafing missions across the South Pacific from
New Guinea to the shores of the Japanese Home Islands or battling
nature and deadly German flak over the Brenner Pass in northern
Italy, the Mitchell established a reputation for being the best
medium bomber used by the Allies during the war. The Mitchell was
easy to fly for an inexperienced wartime-trained pilot, and a
well-trained pilot could get it off a carrier deck, fully loaded.
The aircraft was resilient and could suffer damage from enemy fire,
be it from Zeros over Rabaul or 88mm flak sited in the mountains
along the Brenner Pass, and bring the crews home - even in bombers
so badly damaged that they never flew again. With over 115 images,
this book tells the story of the creation of an aviation classic
and the brave crews who made its reputation.
