The B-25 Mitchell is a medium bomber named in honor of General Bill Mitchell, a United States Army general who is widely regarded as the father of the US Air Force. The B-25 is a two-engine propeller driven aircraft with an H-tail configuration and is considered to be a safe and reliable aircraft. It was used extensively during World War II by the Allies, especially on the Pacific Front.
"Briefing Time" has been recognized as one of only three flying B-25s in the world restored to this level of completeness and authenticity. Making this achievement unique is that all the work was done by the staff and volunteers of the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum at our their facility, rather than by a specialist contractor. Many of the original aircraft parts, which are no longer available, were fabricated in-house. The restoration is complete with the famous Norden bombsight, as well as a working bomb bay loaded with six rare, real 250-pound bombs. The bomber sports a complete set of original WWII radio equipment and even a rarely seen, full suit of armor plate, which along with the 1500 pounds of iron bombs on its racks makes "Briefing Time" the heaviest B-25 flying in the world today.
