About the North American B-25 Mitchell

The North American B-25 Mitchell was developed as a twin-engine medium bomber for the United States Army Air Forces. Designed for flexibility, it was used in level bombing, low-level attack, reconnaissance, and anti-shipping missions.

The B-25C and B-25D variants were among the first mass-produced versions and saw extensive combat use throughout the war. These aircraft were deployed across multiple theatres, including the Pacific, North Africa, and Europe.
