B-25's were used a lot in the Pacific Theater. Operated by the Navy and Marines as the PBJ. The Doolittle raid was the first but not the last. PBJ's sunk many Jap ships and turned back invasion forces time after time. Many PBJ's had the gun nose option and brought up to 13 .50 cal's to the game, and in a few PBJ's a cannon was mounted in the nose and operated/loaded from the flight engineers position. The cannon idea didnt work all that well as the recoil slowed the aircraft to much.
Great interal views and sounds of the Mitchell. We also have a J model at our Mid-Atlantic Air Museum here in Reading, PA--the 'Briefing Time'.
