Wolfe. The North American B-25 Mitchell is WWII's most heralded and versatile medium bomber. Volume 1 (of two) gives the reader a concise illustrated look at the A through D models. The book begins with the formation of the North American Aviation company and the early developments of the B-25 design including the NA-40B prototype. Visual coverage is included for the Inglewood and Kansas City manufacturing plants along with several of the major modification centers. The last half of the book covers the D model in many color photos of the interior and exterior from nose to tail and from wingtip to wingtip. The Wright R-2600 radial engine and Hamilton-Standard propeller are detailed as are their associated systems. The Mitchell's markings and insignia changes are featured throughout.
