B-25 is the correct designation for these aircraft. B-24s were four-engine heavies in WWII.


Yes, you are so correct; I don't know how I made such a stupid mistake. Thank you.

Great image of a great old WWII aircraft.


Thank you very much, Ken, but I was typing without thinking and misnamed this aircraft; This plane is a B-25 Mitchell bomber.

I have 5 original signatures of Jimmy Doolittle in ink. They are for sale. If you are interested let me know.

Rob, I had a working art studio and needed 6 original signatures for the Jimmy Doolittle Monument at March Air Reserve Base. I only needed one for the occasion, but needed more to choose the best one. I also have an embossed portrait on paper of about 6" to go with the signatures. I've always wanted to frame them.

A year later I was at the art framing studio that framed the one that went to General Michael Kelly, the Chief of Staff, the Pentagon. I was a little puffy telling the studio I sent the pieces to them for framing. The owner stopped me and said shortly after he received a phone call the person stated, "I am (----) from the Pentagon -------. and need to have your quote on the piece you framed for General Kelly would like to keep it at his home now he's retired." The framer thought it was a prank so he responded with, "Did you say you're Santa Claus?" The man on other end said, "No I am from the Pentagon and I do need to know."

A humorous tale I enjoy repeating.
I have 5 original signatures of Jimmy Doolittle in... (show quote)


Thank you very much, canonclicker; I appreciate your insight. I also apologize for mistyping B-24 instead of the correct B-25.

One of the greatest aviation feats of WW II. But you mean the B25 Mitchell!


Yes, thank you very much, Gary; I feel like an idiot (not unusual for me) for calling this plane a B-24. I should know better than that.

Mine flew with the 461st as a bombardier over Italy, Romania, Yugoslavia, and France. I recently had the pleasure of climbing around a B-24 and actually saw the bombardier seat (wasn't allowed to sit in it). Took my son and grandson with me - very cool!


Thank you, Gatorcoach; I appreciate your input. I have no idea why I typed B-24; I know better.
