North American B-25 Mitchell
Assembly of the North American B-25 Mitchell in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1942. This twin-engine medium bomber was manufactured by North American Aviation and named in honor of Major General William Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. Used by many Allied air forces, the B-25 served in every theater of World War II. Many remained in service in the decades after the war. Nearly 10,000 Mitchells rolled from NAA factories, including limited models for the U.S. Marine Corps and Army Air Forces.Photograph: Alfred T. Palmer; restoration: Adam Cuerden
