A photographic history of the B25 medium bomber: latewar G through J, F10, and PBJ models (Volume 2 of 2) This second of two volumes on the North American B25 Mitchell covers the lateWWII G through J, F10, and PBJ variants of the famed US medium bomber. Among the many topics discussed are the Mitchell versions used by the US Navy and Marine Corps, as well as photorecon and experimental types. B25s in foreign wartime service are also shown, including those used in Poland, France, England, and Soviet Russia. A detailed chapter covers all types of armament used in the Mitchell, from guns and cannon of various calibers to ammunition used, including machine gun rounds, rockets, and bombs. A special section of the book features discussions on unique B25 missions, events, and aircrew during WWII and in the postwar era, such as the April 1942 Doolittle Raid and the B25 collision with the Empire State Building in July 1945. B25 appearances in classic feature films such as Thirty Seconds over Tokyo and Catch22 are also detailed.
