North American B-25 Mitchell Twin-Engine Aircraft Family
The North American B-25 Mitchell was a twin-engine aircraft family that first flew in 1940. Designed as a medium bomber, it served with U.S. and Allied forces in every major Second World War theater and also supported reconnaissance, patrol, and training adaptations. The family’s unusually broad service history, including Marine PBJ variants and postwar trainer conversions, makes it a canonical study in multi-role aircraft development and production.
