B-25 Bomber “Panchito”

The B-25 Bomber was used by the U.S and its allies in every theater of World War II.  The B-25 came to fame on April 18, 1942 during the Doolittle Raid.  Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle led 16 B-25s in a daring attack on mainland Japan, four months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.  Launched from the aircraft carrier Hornet, the raid was a one way mission as the aircraft could only launch and not land from its short deck.
