Doolittle Raid – Sole Surviving B-25B Model

For the past 80 years, only one B-25B bomber aircraft made famous by the Doolittle Tokyo Raid during World War II, has miraculously survived. This particular aircraft, bearing the US Army Air Force serial number #40-2347, holds the distinction of being the 117th out of 120 B models produced by North American Aviation during the war.

Over the course of the next five years, a dedicated effort by Aero Trader will be undertaken to meticulously restore and remanufacture the sole surviving B-25B #40-2347 from World War II to precisely match the specifications and markings of the Doolittle/Cole B Model #40-2344 that was used on the Doolittle Tokyo Raid mission. 

Subsequent to this restoration, a multi-year National Heritage Flight Program will be launched, featuring the historic sole surviving B-25B Raider flying in formation with the new, highly classified Northrup B-21 Stealth Bomber, aptly named the "B-21 Raider" in honor of Doolittle and the 80 courageous Tokyo Raiders.
