Developed by North American Aviation, the B-25 played a significant role in various theaters of the war, including the European, Pacific, and North African campaigns. Its robust construction, excellent performance, and adaptability made it one of the most successful and widely recognized bombers of its time.During World War II, the B-25 Mitchell participated in numerous combat operations and played a vital role in turning the tide of the war in favor of the Allies.

Led by Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle, a group of sixteen B-25 bombers launched from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet and conducted a daring bombing raid on targets in Japan, striking a blow to Japanese morale and demonstrating the ability of the Allies to strike back despite early setbacks.The B-25 Mitchell also saw extensive use in the European Theater, where it performed various roles, including low-level bombing, strafing, and ground attack missions.

The P-51 Mustang from World War II is the most well-known fighter aircraft ever built. Originally designed to fill an order from the British government, the P-51 was built by North American Aviation. The first examples did not show much promise, until a switch was made to the Rolls-Royce engine. By 1944, the skies over Europe were dominated by the Allies, thanks to the P-51 Mustang. & nbsp;The P-51B is the earlier version of the Mustang, before the switch to the bubble style canopy. These early P-51s were instrumental in developing the tactics that were needed to defeat the Luftwaffe and safely escort the bombers to the targets. The best approach proved to be attacking the enemy long before they could reach the bombers. The P-51s were referred to as & ldquo;fighter sweeps & rdquo;, and they were devastatingly effective.
