Chino Airshow 2010
B-25 Mitchell

This is the North American B-25 Mitchell. Made famous by the Doolittle Tokyo Raid, the Mitchell is the only aircraft made before or since that was named for an individual. William "Billy" Mitchell was a very vocal advocate for air power. He was also an innovator of air tactics. There were two Mitchells at the show this year; one in USAAF markings and the other in Russian markings. The Russians received many American aircraft through the lend-lease program during WWII.
