A North American B-25 Mitchell medium bomber banks through cloud cover, photographed from above. The aircraft's national insignia -- a plain white star on a blue field -- dates the image to 1942, a transitional period in USAAF marking standards. The B-25 became one of the most famous American bombers of World War II, best known for its role in the 1942 Doolittle Raid on Japan. Project: 218195
