The North American B-25
was a American twin-engined medium bomber manufactured by North American Aviation. It was used by many Allied air forces, in every theater of World War II, as well as many other air forces after the war ended. It saw service over for over four decades.
The B-25 was named in honor of General Billy Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. By the end of its production, nearly 10,000 B-25s in numerous variations had been built. These included a few limited variations, such as the United States Navy's and Marine Corps' PBJ-1
and the United States Army Air Forces' F-10 photo reconnaissance aircraft.
The B-25 gained notoriety in the second world war when Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle attacked mainland Japan four months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The mission gave a much-needed lift in spirits to the Americans, and alarmed the Japanese who had believed their home islands were inviolable by enemy forces. Although the amount of actual damage done was relatively minor, it forced the Japanese to divert troops to the home defense for the remainder of the war. The B-25 cemented its place in the history books as the 16 bombers took off from the USS
and successfully bombed Tokyo along with four other Japanese cities without loss.
