The North American B-25 Mitchell, seen here in flight with landing gear extended, was one of the most versatile and widely produced American medium bombers of World War II. Renowned for its rugged reliability and adaptability, the B-25 served in every combat theater of the war and gained lasting fame as the aircraft used in the 1942 Doolittle Raid on Tokyo, the first American air strike on the Japanese home islands.
