This is my little production of a flight demo of the famous North Amercan B-25 Mitchell medium bomber. The B-25 is powered by two Wright R-2600 14-cylinder engines of about 1,700 horsepower (depending on the engine model). This was the aircraft that was used by General Jimmy Doolittle and the other crews in the 1942 raid on Tokyo launched from the USS Hornet aircraft carrier. An amazing story of courage, daring and fortitude! This clip is dedicated to my Dad who flew B-25s during WWII.
Really, really noisy and hot inside and most all, one heck of a lot of F-U-N for a real warbird enthusiast ! Most of the exterior shots are of the Planes of Fame (Chino, California) B-25. The interior shots are from the Collings Foundation’s B-25 “Tondelayo.”
