Historical Facts and Combat Use

The B-25 Mitchell aircraft was designed and manufactured by the American company North American Aviation. The B-25G version, which serves as the basis for the presented Italeri 1309 model, was distinguished by being equipped with an M4 75 mm cannon, making it one of the first Allied bombers with such firepower. The B-25G was widely used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II (years 1943-1945), especially in the Pacific to attack ships and ground targets, as well as in the European theater. Apart from the USA, B-25 aircraft were also used by British, Soviet, Canadian, and Australian forces.
