Item GUI 805, Wing Span 26 inches, Scale 1/32. The B-25 Mitchell was one of the
most outstanding medium bombers of World War 2. Conceived in mid-1939, the first
production model flew in August 1940 and the first operational success was
scored on December 24, 1941 with the destruction of the Japanese submarine. In
April 1942, 16 B-25's made a historic raid on Tokyo operating from the aircraft
carrier USS Hornet under the command of General Doolittle- a raid that did
little damage, but gave the U.S. a psychological lift during the early days of
the Pacific Ocean hostilities. During the war years, the RAF, the Soviet Union,
China Union, Brazil and the Netherlands also used the B-25. The "H"
version with 16 guns and a 75mm cannon was the most lethal
twin-engine bomber of
World War 2.
