Oshkosh 2022 | North American B-25 Mitchell Devil Dog   The North American B-25 Mitchell is an American medium bomber. North American Aviation produced just under 10,000 B-25s from 1939-1945.  It was named after Major General William “Billy” Mitchell, a pioneer in early military aviation.  Used by many Allied air forces, the B-25 served in every theater of WWII.  Over time, it became both a high-level and low-level bomber, a submarine patrol and photo reconnaissance aircraft, and even a fighter.  Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Outliers | B-25 Crawlway   The B-25 Bombardier’s Crawlway looks like a tight squeeze and a bit daunting.  Entry to the bombardier’s nose compartment is through the tunnel beneath the left side of the flight deck.  Although it’s called a “crawlway”, the easiest and fastest method to get through is to lie on your back and pull yourself along the sheet-metal deck using the yellow hand-rails overhead.
