North American B-25 Mitchell (Serial 112867) in Flight, Early World War II Star Insignia
This wartime photograph shows a North American B-25 Mitchell, serial 112867, banking through overcast skies. Marked with the early-war 'star-in-circle' national insignia used before mid-1943, this image likely dates to 1942 or early 1943. The B-25 gained lasting fame as the aircraft used in the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo in April 1942, and it went on to serve as a versatile medium bomber across every theater of World War II.
