The North American B-25B Mitchell bomber is an iconic medium bomber of World War II, best known for its role in the daring Doolittle Raid over Tokyo in April 1942. This daring mission demonstrated the U.S. Army Air Forces’ ability to strike the Japanese homeland and boosted Allied morale during a critical stage of the war. The B-25B’s rugged design, twin-engine layout, and versatile payload capacity made it a reliable workhorse in both the Pacific and European theaters.
