B-25 Mitchell

Following Andy's post on the B-25 in RAAF service, I realised we didn't have a Mitchell thread.

My favourite has to be the XB-25G with its 75mm M4 cannon

She saw service Kyt, as did the H.

B-25 Nose Art 3 photos by Bill Scheuerman - Barbie III in Air Commando colours (good theatre Kyt!) is an airworthy H.

My bag Andy. That should be B-25G, not XB. Typo as I was checking the details as I couldn't remember if it was the G or H with the heavier M4 75mm gun. It was the G, as the H had the specially lightened T13E1 75mm.

You'd want that big sod lightened as well.
