@vizzano Hi , my father also flew this great aircraft. His name was Lt Einar Muhonen and i think he was stationed around Columbia air base in 1942. He had an incident where the the pilot's chute unlatched the escape hatch and out he went with a full billowing chute. (Mahaffee) .

except my dad grabbed his foot and held on. and held on to the controls. a crew member was able to grab the other foot and somehow they landed this bomber

and save his life. All the B 25 crews wanted togotoTokyo.

the 25 flew in all theaters and had a 75mm cannon for ground attack and anti shipping. biggest gun for years after.

I've live about 20 miles from Alameda Naval Air Station where they loaded up the B-25's to the carrier U.S.S. Hornet CV8 :)

my favourite WWII plane alongside P-47 and german Bf-109. B-25 maybe was not as successful design as P-47, but it still was a wonderful piece of aircraft.

Off to bomb TOKYO! I've actually had the privilege of standing right in the middle of Eglin Field, the same place where Jimmy Doolittle's raiders trained!
