A North American B-25 Mitchell medium bomber taxis across the ramp at a Douglas Aircraft Company facility as a ground crewman signals the pilot. Renowned for its role in the 1942 Doolittle Raid on Tokyo and for widespread service as a low-level attack and strafing aircraft in every theater of World War II, the B-25 was produced in the thousands to meet wartime demand. Scenes such as this, showing crowds gathered near the flight line, were common during factory demonstrations, acceptance trials, and post-war display events. Project: 218474
