Product description : North-American PBJ-1J Mitchell (Limited Edition)

The B-25 Mitchell, designed by North American Aviation, is named after Major General William Mitchell, considered the father of the United States Army Air Force. This twin-engine medium bomber was a mainstay of military aviation during World War II. Its robustness and versatility enabled it to perform high- and low-altitude bombing missions, strafing raids, photographic reconnaissance, and anti-submarine patrols. The PBJ-1J was a naval version used by the United States Marine Corps (USMC), modified for naval operations and often equipped with radar for anti-ship missions.

The B-25 Mitchell was one of the most widely used bombers of World War II, famous for its ability to carry out varied missions, from strategic bombing to ground attacks. This bomber, capable of carrying heavy bombs over distances of up to 1,200 miles at a speed of 200 mph, made history, especially during famous raids such as the Doolittle raid. Approximately 9,816 B-25s were produced, including 4,318 units of the B-25J version, which remains the last production version. The PBJ-1J version, used by the USMC, was specifically designed for naval operations with an integrated radar for detecting and attacking enemy ships.
The Mitchell served on all fronts of World War II, including the Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean. It remained in service until the 1970s in countries such as Brazil. Its robustness and ability to adapt to different war missions make it a must-have model in the world of military aviation.
