North American B-25 Mitchell "Buster" - China-Burma-India Theater, World War II

A North American B-25 Mitchell medium bomber named "Buster" sits on a jungle airstrip in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II. The package of forward-firing guns fitted to its nose reflects a common field modification used by CBI squadrons for low-level strafing attacks on Japanese supply lines. Aircraft like this one flew demanding missions over some of the war's most difficult terrain. Project: 218052
