Model Airplane Factory offers you this elegant B25 Mitchell Doolittle Raiders desktop airplane model made by our master craftsmen. The Mitchell B-25 Doolittle wood bomber aircraft desktop is meticulously carved and painted to reflect the true detail of the original B25 Mitchell Doolittle Raiders. After passing through several stages of sanding and priming, our talented artists paint and detail the Mitchell B-25 Doolittle model desk top wood with historically correct markings of the B-25 Mitchell Doolittle Raiders. Our Mitchell B25 Doolittle airplane bomber is a beautiful, handmade authentic replica, made from the very finest grade of select kiln-dried mahogany wood and painstakingly decorated by our skilled craftsmen. Mitchell B-25 Doolittle wooden bomber desk top includes hand-made armaments to represent real weapon loads based on the original B25 Mitchell Doolittle Raiders. The B25 Mitchell Doolittle Raiders desk top model wood bomber is supplied with a mahogany base for display.


The B-25 first gained fame as the bomber used in the April 1942 Doolittle Raid, in which 16 B-25Bs, led by the legendary Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle, took off from the carrier USS Hornet and successfully bombed Tokyo and four other Japanese cities without loss to themselves. However, 15 of the planes subsequently crash-landed in Eastern China en route to their recovery fields in that country. These losses were the result of fuel exhaustion, stormy nighttime conditions with zero visibility, and the lack of electronic homing aids at the recovery bases. Only one B-25B landed intact; it came down in the Soviet Union, where its five-man crew was interned and the aircraft confiscated. Fortunately, 71 of the 80 Doolittle Raid crewmen survived their historic mission and eventually made it back to American lines.

Following a number of additional modifications, including the addition of Plexiglas windows for the navigator and radio operator, heavier nose armament, and de-icing and anti-icing equipment, the B-25C version was released to the Army. This was the second mass-produced version of the Mitchell, the first being the lightly-armed B-25B used by the Doolittle Raiders. The B-25C and B-25D were identical, the only difference being their location of manufacture. The B-25C was built in Inglewood, California, while the B-25D was made in Kansas City, Kansas. A total of 3,915 B-25Cs and B-25Ds were built by North American during World War II.
