ShawFest B-25
The North American B-25 Mitchell will be one of the aircraft performing in the air show. The design for the B-25 was accepted on August 10, 1939 as part of the Army Air Corps search for a medium bomber. It was made immortal on April 18, 1942 when it became the first U.S. aircraft to bomb the Japanese mainland. This was the aircraft flown by Lt. Col. James Doolittle. It was the heaviest plane at the time to be flown from a ship at sea. Today, approximately 34 remain flying, most as war birds, and at least one as an aerial camera platform in Hollywood.
