Profusely illustrated, this volume examines the nuances of the external features and explores the inner workings of the B-25D model, the scarce hard-hitting, cannon-armed B-25H, and also the most abundantly-produced Mitchell bomber, the B-25J. Enhancing the color photographs, taken both on the ground and in the air, four vintage black-and-white images and 14 line drawings further illustrate details, while five color renderings of aircraft and markings provide a glimpse into the nature of WWII noseart.

Book Synopsis North American B-25 Mitchell by : Mantelli - Brown - Kittel - Graf
Download or read book North American B-25 Mitchell written by Mantelli - Brown - Kittel - Graf and published by Edizioni R.E.I.. This book was released on 2015-04-11 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American B-25 Mitchell was a twin-engine medium bomber manufactured by North American and dall'USAAF mainly used during the Second World War. The B 25 Mitchell formed together with the North American Douglas A 20 Havoc and the Martin B 26 Marauder, the backbone of the operating units of supportive 'USAAF during the second world war. The Mitchell, in particular, proved a versatile aircraft that immediately attracted the popularity. Although he had no heavy offensive load, its armament with a piece of heavy artillery, good for both offensive and defensive purposes, was particularly feared by German pilots, Italian and Japanese. It was the plane with which Jimmy Doolittle performed his famous bombing raid on Tokyo to give a strong signal to Japan in the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was quite a feat because the planes took off from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet: was unthinkable starting with a plane of that size from a runway so short. Were built a total of about 10,000 specimens, including versions PBJ-1 patrol ships and F-10 for reconnaissance. Was used in all theaters of operation and was used by several countries, including Britain (which received more than 900), Australia, China, the Netherlands, and the Soviet Union. It is considered as one of the best medium bombers of the conflict. The nickname "Mitchell" is in honor of General Billy Mitchell, one of the first major supporters of the use of air power for military purposes.
Book Synopsis B-25 Mitchell Units of the CBI by : Edward M. Young
Download or read book B-25 Mitchell Units of the CBI written by Edward M. Young and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flying from and between bases in China and India, the B-25s bombed every type of Japanese target during World War 2 in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theatre, ultimately dropping more ordinance than their larger four-engined B-24 Liberator brethren. Mitchell bombers took on the task of disrupting the flow of Japanese supplies to the frontlines at medium ranges, bombing Japanese supply centres, railway depots and bridges. It was in this last capacity that the B-25 established a unique role as a 'bridge-buster'. This provided significant support for the British Fourteenth Army as they advanced into Burma. Fully illustrated with detailed cutaway artwork, this book tells the important, yet forgotten story of B-25 operations in the CBI Theatre and the important role that this aircraft played on the road to victory.

Book Synopsis PBJ Mitchell Units of the Pacific War by : Jerry Scutts
Download or read book PBJ Mitchell Units of the Pacific War written by Jerry Scutts and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 2003-12-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flown exclusively by the US Marines, the PBJ was one of those rare examples of an air force type being procured by the navy due to its ability to do exactly the job that was required of it. Bought as a land-based patrol bomber for operations in the Atlantic and Pacific during World War II (1939-1945), the PBJ (Patrol, Bomber, North American) was kitted out to hunt down submarines as well as surface vessels. Identical to its air force counterpart, except for its ability to lay mines, deploy depth charges and launch torpedoes, some 706 PBJs were delivered to the Marine Corps from 1943-45. This book outlines the aircraft's history and technology, and takes a closer look at the men who flew it.

Download or read book North American B-25 Mitchell Bomber Pilot's Flight Operating Manual written by United States Army Air Force and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-05-04 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April of 1942, sixteen American bombers raided Tokyo, Japan. The planes were land-based B-25 Mitchells, audaciously launched from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet, and led by Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle. The attack caused little actual damage, but dealt a serious blow to Japanese morale. More importantly, it gave hope to an American public still reeling from Pearl Harbor. Manufactured by North American Aviation, the B-25 saw service in every theatre of WWII. It carried a crew of six, and could loft a maximum load of 6,000 pounds of bombs. Originally printed by North American and the U.S. Army Air Force, this Flight Operating Handbook taught pilots everything they needed to know before entering the cockpit. Classified "Restricted," the manual was declassified and is here reprinted in book form. This affordable facsimile has been slightly reformatted. Care has been taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.

Book Synopsis B-25 Mitchell Vs Japanese Destroyer by : Mark Lardas
Download or read book B-25 Mitchell Vs Japanese Destroyer written by Mark Lardas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of the Bismarck Sea was one of the most decisive naval battles of World War II and this highly illustrated study details the three-day fight which shaped the outcome of the war. Throughout the first year of the war in the Pacific during World War II the USAAF was relatively ineffective against ships. Indeed, warships in particular proved to be too elusive for conventional medium-level bombing. High-level attacks wasted bombs, and torpedo attacks required extensive training. But as 1942 closed, the Fifth Air Force developed new weapons and new tactics that were not just effective, they were deadly. A maintenance officer assigned to a B-25 unit found a way to fill the bombardier's position with four 0.50-cal machine guns and strap an additional four 0.50s to the sides of the bomber, firing forward. Additionally, skip-bombing was developed. This called for mast-top height approaches flying the length of the target ship. If the bombs missed the target, they exploded in the water close enough to crush the sides. The technique worked perfectly when paired with “strafe” B-25s. Over the first two months of 1943, squadrons perfected these tactics. Then, in early March, Japan tried to reinforce their garrison in Lae, New Guinea, with a 16-ship convoy – eight transports guarded by eight destroyers. The Fifth Air Force pounced on the convoy in the Bismarck Sea. By March 5 all eight transports and four destroyers had been sunk. This volume examines the mechanics of skip-bombing combined with a strafing B-25, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the combatants (B-25 versus destroyer), and revealing the results of the attacks and the reasons why these USAAF tactics were so successful.
