The B24 and B25 and the people that built them and flew them were incredible. I live near the plant in Fort Worth (in Liberator Village) as a kid. Wonderful time. Got to fly in a 24 last year. What an experience.
Thank you very much for all this info; I appreciate comments like this.

Hi Bob,, I love your work, and have spent quite a bit of time looking at your web site.
I shoot at the Airventure Airshow in Oshkosh Wisconsin every year for one of the volunteer groups out there.
Your shots give me incentive to learn to shoot as well as you someday!!,,
I have included one of mine of the beautiful B-25, I hope you like it.

Love this bomber. I used to live in Billings, MT in the 1970's where about a half dozen of these planes (privately owned) were stationed for use as water bombers in wildfire suppression. It was a real treat to see them fly out on early morning missions toward the mountains where the fires were burning. I think one is still on display there, but the rest were sold off to collectors in flying condition. John
Thank you for this, JBruce; I appreciate input like this.

Thanks for the shot. Really nice, were you allowed to see inside her?
We really enjoyed the Maid In The Shade, B25, when she was here in Gig Harbor. The CAF allowed us to tour her. She served in the European theater. They seemed to like the Girls on the planes. Thanks again enjoyed seeing an old beauty.

You are quite welcome, may I call you Ed; I appreciate it. We couldn't go inside the B-25 for some reason, but were able to go inside the B-24 Liberator, and here is the link to the photos I took:

Thank you very much, Retired CPO; I always think about the Doolittle Raid, especially this time of year. Two months after that---the Battle of Midway.
As the man said, "Thank God for the B-25." ...and the crews that flew them. I am too lazy to google it, but did anyone else besides Mitchell build the B-25 or was it just Mitchell?

It was the North American Aviation B-25 Mitchell named after General "Billy" Mitchell.
And only North American Manufactured them. They had two plants - Inglewood, CA and Kansas City, KS, between the two factories and the multiple variations they built 9890 according to factory records. That includes the pre-production design concept aircraft.
