Betty's Dream, Mitchell Medium Bomber B-25J

---

 The B-25 series of Medium Bombers gained fame as the bomber used in the Doolittle raid.  Sixteen B-25Bs led by then LT Colonel Jimmy Doolittle flew off the carrier USS Hornet and successfully bombed Tokyo.

This series of Bomber served in every theater of operations during World War Two.  They were used as there main task, medium bombers, Antisubmarine, gunships, reconnaissance, refueling, and countless other rolls.

They could sustain an extreme amount of damage and keep flying even with one engine out and down to 145mph.  My picture today is of Betty’s Dream, a B-25J owned currently by the “Texas Flying Legends Museum”.




This craft is truly a great representation of a pice of flying history.  In this picture she is being chased down by a zero during a mock attack at EAA Air Venture this last July 2015.
