Historical Background and Use

The North American B-25 Mitchell is an American medium-range bomber, designed in 1939 and widely used during World War II. This legendary aircraft became famous, among other things, for its role in the famous Doolittle Raid – the first bombing raid on Tokyo in 1942, during which B-25s were the first bombers to take off from the deck of the USS Hornet aircraft carrier. It was also used by Soviet forces on the Eastern Front, especially in the Battle of Stalingrad. The special B-25J version, the most massively produced, was outfitted with many innovations and adapted for different roles: from precision bombing to low-level strafing attacks on ground and naval targets.
