B-25 Mitchell
The North American B-25 Mitchell was one of the most versatile and widely used medium bombers of World War II. First flown in 1940 and named after aviation pioneer General Billy Mitchell, the B-25 gained fame during the Doolittle Raid in April 1942, when sixteen aircraft launched from the USS Hornet to strike Tokyo—marking America’s first air assault on the Japanese mainland.
Powered by twin Wright R-2600 radial engines and capable of carrying up to 3,000 lbs of bombs, the B-25 served in every major theater of the war. It was produced in over 9,800 examples across multiple variants, including the cannon-armed B-25G, the heavily armed B-25J, and the naval PBJ-1 used by the U.S. Marine Corps. Postwar, many Mitchells continued in service as trainers, transports, and aerial camera platforms.
This category features high-resolution prints of B-25 aircraft in flight, on takeoff, and in museum preservation—captured by aviation photographer Stuart H. Bourne. Included are restored examples like “Grumpy”, “Miss Mitchell”, and “Yellow Rose”, each cataloged with verified serials, nose art, and archival context.
Whether you're drawn to the Mitchell’s rugged design, its role in low-level Pacific strikes, or its enduring legacy in airshows and museums, these prints offer a visually rich tribute to one of the most iconic bombers of the 20th century.
