OPEN A CAN OF WHOOP-ASS

Galveston, TX

The B-25 Mitchell was a very versatile medium-duty bomber which flew in both the Pacific and European Theaters
during World War II. This B-25 is the official aircraft of the Doolittle Raiders. It honors the 80 brave men
who flew 16 land-based B-25s off the USS Hornet in the first raid against the Japanese on their own soil.

Good shot of it. I saw 17 of them pass by in formation a few years ago for the Doolittle 70th reunion.
