This second of two volumes on the North American B-25 Mitchell
covers the late-WWII G through J, F-10, and PBJ variants of the
famed US medium bomber. Among the many topics discussed are the
Mitchell versions used by the US Navy and Marine Corps, as well as
photo-recon and experimental types. B-25s in foreign wartime
service are also shown, including those used in Poland, France,
England, and Soviet Russia. A detailed chapter covers all types of
armament used in the Mitchell, from guns and cannon of various
calibers to ammunition used, including machine gun rounds, rockets,
and bombs. A special section of the book features discussions on
unique B-25 missions, events, and aircrew during WWII and in the
postwar era, such as the April 1942 Doolittle Raid and the B-25
collision with the Empire State Building in July 1945. B-25
appearances in classic feature films such as Thirty Seconds over
Tokyo and Catch-22 are also detailed.
