Nikon D300 Salad | B-25 Cockpit Except for the GPS moving map in the center, the instrument panel of this B-25 Mitchell looks pretty much as it did in 1944. Pilots loved the plane. The B-25 was easier to fly than the B-26, which preceded it. And, it could take an incredible damage from enemy fire and still bring its crew home. The crew chiefs and mechanics also found it easier to maintain than the B-26. To learn more about Doolittle Raiders Reunion, see Doolittle Raiders Reunion | a 7 Image Story.
