B-25 Mitchell Bombers, Military Aircraft Models, Plastic Model Kits, Wooden Models, Diecast Model AirplanesThe B-25 Mitchell The North American B-25 Mitchell was one of the best-known medium bombers of World War II, especially remembered for its use in the Doolittle raid on Japan in 1942 and its participation in every major theater of the war. Less known, however, is its continued role in the postwar world, both in military and civilian service. Thousands of war surplus B-25's sat on airfields in 1945, available to the highest bidder.Though most B-25's, as other warplanes, were scrapped and smelted, hundreds did enjoy a postwar career in the civil sector. The B-25 is now one of the most prolific surviving Warbirds, and this book tells the story of the type in the years since the end of World War II. The B-25 has provided diverse and distinguished service in roles from fire-fighting to movie production. This books covers all of these roles and includes hundreds of photographs, detailed appendices, and individual aircraft histories of each of the civilian B-25's.

Model and a Movie B-25 Mitchell 1/48 Scale Models Plastic Model Kit Movie In 1942, the B-25B The Doolittle Raid Mitchell bolstered the spirits of the entire Allied Forces with its daring bombing, and highly successful bombing run on Japan. For his leadership role in the raid, Doolittle received the Medal of Honor. Highlights of this kit include recessed panel lines, a complete bomb bay, an aftermarket quality decal sheet, highly detailed engines with correct cowls, and crew compartments. Plastic cement is required to build this kit. To customize your model, you may also want to buy a paint kit. Perfect for the intermediate-level modeler.
Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo Shortly after the bombing on Pearl Harbor, the American military began preparation for a retaliatory attack. The story of that mission is presented in THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO, based on the memoirs of Captain Ted Lawson, who flew one of the 16 twin-engine bombers over Tokyo. Spencer Tracy plays Colonel Jimmy Doolittle, the leader of the mission, while VAN JOHNSON plays the leading role of Captain Ted Lawson, whose bomber also carries star Robert Mitchum. A variety of factors makes the mission exceptionally dangerous: Twin-engine bombers had never taken off from an aircraft carrier previously; the bombers needed to fly in low, pretending to be Japanese aircraft; and the oversize bombers couldn't return to the aircraft carrier, so the intended landing site was behind enemy lines in China. With its almost documentary-style approach, THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO is perhaps the finest film about World War II made during the war itself. |

I just found your website. Wow! My father flew a B-25 in World War II, in the Royal Netherlands Air Force. The Netherlands was occupied by the Germans at the time, so the United States granted Queen Wilhelmina and Princess Juliana permission to train Dutch expatriates in the US. They trained in Kansas City and Jackson, Mississippi at US air bases. I have never seen any info about them, and very little about B-25 Mitchell's, which were obtained by the Dutch from the US. Walt Disney designed their insignia, which I believe was a gremlin in a wooden shoe with wings |
