North American B-25 Mitchell during sunrise at Ellington Airport in Houston, Texas.
The North American B-25 Mitchell was an American medium bomber of the aircraft manufacturer North American Aviation. During World War II she was used on all fronts, but mainly over the Pacific. There are numerous differences between successive versions, as the design was modified during the war.
The B-25 is best known for the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo, in April 1942, led by Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle and was intended to deal a moral blow to Japan but also to give the Americans a shot in the arm. The B-25's took off from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8), a unique event for these planes that were not designed for this purpose.
Almost 10,000 examples of this bomber were built in all versions. It was in production from 1939 and the last examples left the factory in 1945.
I photographed this B-25 on October 20, 2019 during the Wings over Houston Airshow.
I am Jaap van den Berg and photography has become a great passion of mine since 2010. Since then I travel all over the world to take pictures of military aircrafts. But besides aircraft I also love to photograph other subjects like landscapes, architecture, flowers, animals, ships and cranes. Evening photography and macro photography are also something I enjoy doing.
