B-25 Mitchell History:

The B25 Mitchell was introduced beginning with the 65th Mitchell at Inglewood. The main difference between the B-25 and the B-25A was the B25B Mitchell has a much heavier defensive armament. The B25 also introduced the use of L-type power operated turret installed on the top rear of the fuselage. In addition to this was a pair of 0.50 inch machine guns mounted in a solid Bendix remotely controlled ventral turret.

Other new features of the B-25B were as follows: the stowable 0.30 inch waist gun was removed, the side hatches with their Plexiglas windows were reduced in size, the 0.30 inch machine gun was retained, the 0.50 inch tail gun was eliminated and the armor plate in the extreme tail was eliminated.

The crew of B25B Mitchell is composed of a pilot, co-pilot, bombardier, navigator and radio operator. The additional armament of the B25B caused the weight to creep up to 20,000 pounds when empty and 28,460 pounds when fully loaded. The maximum speed of the B-25B Mitchell is 300 mph at 15,000 feet. On August 1941, the first 14 B25B Mitchells were accepted. The 17th Bombardment group was the first one to use the B-25B Mitchell.

The B25C Mitchell was the second mass produced edition of Mitchell. The B-25C Mitchell was identical to B-25D the only difference is the location where it was manufactured. Like the B-25B, the B25C was also built in Inglewood, California. There was a total of 3,915 B25C and B25D Mitchell that were built. One of the most famous B-25C was nicknamed Patches. By the end of the war the said B-25C aircraft had completed more than 300 missions.

The B25C Mitchell was an improved version of the B25B. The B-25C was also used in United Kingdom, Canada, Netherlands and Soviet Union.
