My grandpa was a waist gunner in a b-25 during the campaigns of North Africa and Italy. As a kid he'd tell me stories about how much he loved that aircraft. Told me about the two times they lost their landing gear and had to do belly landings. He passed when I was 9 so I never got to hear all his stories with a mind that could understand them. A few years ago I got to take a flight in a b-25 with my dad and hearing those engines start up in person and be able to fly in that aircraft made me truly understand the beauty of it.
My father was a rear gunner on the B25. The stories he would tell, when he wanted too, would bring a tear to your eye
My stepmom's father was also a tailgunner in the B-25. He says that at the Battle of the Bulge, his gun froze up at the same time a German's did, but he got his unstuck first...
@@TheChadPad that’s awesome but the tail gunner was always cramped my grandpa shot down more then 10 fw and b109 in the top gunner
My dad was a radio operator on a c 47 transport, was attacked 2 times by German fighters made it back very lucky
It's hard to believe the Doolittle got these Ships off the deck of a Carrier.
He was pretty hard core when it came to pushing men & machinery to their limits.
He was the CO of the 15th Airforce in Europe and my Dad served under Him.
He always made a point to visit each Groups Base on a regular basis. He was a Soldier's Soldier and had great respect for his Flyboys and their Ships.
Armysniper: I have great respect for your dad and his generation. From working on the farm to flying bombing missions almost overnight. They grew up quick.
I think the Mitchell is one of the most handsome looking planes of the Second World War.
Very smart, and aerodynamic shape for it's time.
I find it weird my name is Mitchell and u said that
@@vanillagorilla5431 you're beautiful mitchell
@@vanillagorilla5431 Dennis Mitchell. 😁
And very destructive
You can’t beat the sound of a radial engine.
Who ever works on those engines has done a great job. They sound perfect!
I had been to the Yankee Air Museum several times between 1994/95. I'm glad that they're doing well.
I used to be a member there. Almost got a ride in the B-25. Got to fly in the C-47 a few times.
I love seeing these old planes flying! Occasionally I will see one in the air. I live near an airport that they stay at.
During WW2 before leaving on a mission the crews of B25 bombers would fill a thermos with coffee and put in in a small compartment in the tail. Upon returning they would have a cup of that coffee together. Neat tradition told to me by a member of Doolittle raid at HIll AFB in Utah many years ago.
My Fathers Group tradition was being given a fresh donut when they returned from a mission. They would stand in line and get their donut, before heading
to de-briefing. Doolittle was their Air Force Commander.
Saw one of these taxi, takeoff and land at KPWA Airport today! The sound of the engines is astounding and like no other.
I was a kid when Glen Lamont was pilot (My Dad was CBI B-25 pilot) still have pics and old super 8 MM movies no sound.
Great aircraft! Good memories as a kid, Dad made sure we went to ALL air shows we could ;)
I had the opportunity to fly in the B-25 Super Rabbit as they practiced for an air show. Had the Miss America P-51D Mustang flying along side, over, and under us the entire time.
Awesome experience.
Talk about a LOUD FREAKING AIRCRAFT! Wow!
For Sure Loud,, I was the only one w/o headset on,, and no one had a clue I was screaming
doing 2.5G barrel roll in 43' Beech Staggering Biplane I restored from crashed landing gear
up with the same 9 cyl radial engine single row. Took everyday for two years.
It was barely out of the hanger a half hour from epoxy paint curing when back in the sky.
I had to fabricate all new landing gear doors from scratch, all new instrument panel and
all new interior, more plush than all leather 53'Buick.
Cheers
Awesome warbird, B-25 Mitchell Bomber, Like....
My father was a 19 year old tail gunner in ww2 on b25s based in Italy
I met a gentleman once who piloted a B-25 in WWII.
If I'm not mistaken, it was the B-25 that was modified for use in the Pacific theater by fitting eight 50 cal. machine guns in the nose to fly missions throughout the islands attacking
Japanese bases by surprise.
He said they would fly very low at almost wave-top elevation to avoid radar and then come up to tree-top elevation and fire at installations, aircraft on the ground, and personnel.
He related one instance where he spotted a truck driver who ran from his truck attempting to reach cover and this man shot him with the guns.
He said it has bothered him all of his life.
I tried to help by relating that in warfare that was the way things happened, but it didn't seem to help.
God bless the individual soldiers, sailors, and airmen of all nations.
I got a free ride on Yankee Warrior, several years ago(I worked at a nearby airport when they came in to sell rides). One of the other passengers flew the "gunship" version you speak of. He said he had 80 some-odd missions, and the vast majority were at less than 100' agl. He was a real mess after the flight, we had to physically remove him from the plane...he was so overcome by emotion, he couldn't get out on his own. "Chilling".
I was part of the team restoring the B-25 inside the Confederate Airforce Hanger Mn.
Showcased on front page Mpls Sunday Tribune. That was 37 years ago now. I can barely believe it myself.
The first day entering hanger, the entire elevator was mounted in 500lbs of 2"x8" lumber
frame set vertical on it's edge to keep it square while being restored.
No Other aircraft has made it's mark more than the B-25.
This is the standard copied for all Sky Street Rods.
If by chance anyone comes across copy of Mpls Tribune,, feel free to contact.
My Son stationed in Italy US Airforce as radar tech on Awacs crew would love this.
Cheers
One of the most beautiful and legendary aircraft of WWII.
Take good care of her.
Boy that has got to never get old flying that Machine 🇺🇲
Seeing a B25 is cool knowing my grandfather served on one. Now I want to see on up close.
My Dad spent time on a B 17, a B24, and a brief stint on the B25...these craft were put through hell...
It looks Beautiful going down the Runway on Take Off.
Beautiful plane, never been inside, but i’ld love a walkthrough before i get old
B-25 is my favorite WWII aircraft
Its the "Mini Van" of the skies
Zues Toots Ah yes, Mini Vans have 12.7 MM Turrets on them and can drop 5000 LB bombs
It was the Baby Brother of the B24, but still packed a pretty good punch.
It was basically a scaled down version of the 24 Airframe without the Davis Wing.
Absolutely beautiful
My great grandad served as the turret gunner and mechanic on a B-25 Mitchell bomber during the North Africa Campaign
Col. Glenn H. Lamont
"Guardian of Freedom" was stored for years at City Airport Detroit ( Bay 13 )
Very awesome aircraft! 👍
Beautiful sound 🔊👂🛩️!
keep up the awsome work!
Thanks for watching!
B-25 is one of the best bombers I’ve of WWII
Awesome, in school we had to take a class and fly a simulator of the B-25 Mitchell..roll that trim wheel after take off.
Yes, and I also ❤ the the B 17 also
Meraviglioso .... Wonderful Colors Chrome
That plane has a lot of history
the sound is fascinating
My father was a b-17 ground crewman with the army air corps
That's really cool, siblings of the greatest generation are now old like me lol I miss Dad
Fully original?🔥awesome bird!
Honor..and nothing but Honor ...
Powerful plane
I love B25
Very handsome bird
You guys need to check out the Titusville Air Museum the guys that run the air museum of their restore airplanes and run a wonderful Museum over there and every single year run a 3-day long Air Show all of those people that run it or wonderful people you guys should collaborate with them thank you Air Show stuff
We're familiar with the museum and show, but sadly none of us are in the area. We'd certainly be open to working with them if the opportunity arose! Thanks for watching!
Delicioso sonido 😍
If one engine is knocked out by enemy fire, can it keep flying on the other engine?
How will the pilot maintain balance ?
when i was around 12yrs old 1946 ,in school , day dreamin lookin out the window , i seen a plane flyin low, and had a bright yellow thing on the side of it, all of a sudden brain kicked in ,i jumped up in class , and yelled that plane is on FIRE!!
most of class jump up and ran to windows, we saw some people jump out in parachutes,, teacher was stunned and didnt know hat to say!
about that time most of us seen the left side wing fall off,(flapping down into fields), .
plane took a left side down crash into a golf course, sad the pilot stayed with it the crash!
this is the part i never will forget, me and couple guys , ran out of school, and about 1/2 mile into woods to the course area , they were lookin for the pilot , plane came down leftside contact 1st, they surmised he must be under the right side ENGINE, they cablehooked to engine and pulled ot loose from the ground, FLAMES shot up into air , after it settled down, most of what they found was unreconisable !
i'm standing by two of the firemen , and he leaned down and picked up a JAW BONE , i screamed and ran away!
some things are so vivid yuo never forget!
all most forgot, old timer, it was a B-25 military , flying from Maine to Boston!
I love all the planes that are cargo/ww1&2 and others I'm addicted to planes
It's an amazing plane Danny, sorry for being mean.
Yes
There's 45 B25 Mitchell still flying today! I like all the USAF ww2 American Fighters Bombers trainers and transport planes!
I saw a B25 fly over this morning in Minnesota. He banked it to the left for us. Spectacular. And what a sound.
@@777jones you saw a b25j mitchell this morning that's cool!
One tough aircraft...
Hello Airshow STuff Videos, I wonder if you can help me by telling me if the men are pulling the prop thru against the engine's compression OR is there some kind of de-compression valve??? Very Curious.
Maybe it's for spreading the oil, so that every cylinder is lubricated when they start the engine
My father flew these in Ww2
Great...😀👍👍👍
I got the the privilege of actually going inside the specific bomber. My uncle is one of the machanics for it
Just me or did I see a B-52 sitting in the back ground during take off?
and several 727s... looks an interesting place
I saw that too and thought, " Man, what a difference in size ! "
That's at Willow Run (KYIP) between Ypsilanti/Belleville Michigan. The 52 is part of the museums static display.
Side note...I did my instrument rating there...our hangar was right next to theirs. Got many taxi clearances..."Follow the B-25"...or B-17, or C-47. Learned real quick, to keep a good distance between us!!!
I think they will turn it into a Restobar.
Nice, How about putting that Connie into the air
I'm reading a story about the Doolittle raid on Tokyo after Pearl Harbor....I'd never heard of it.
He told me gunnery school was more train rides than training...'42 to '47 before the Air Force was Born!!!
B25 looks like a mixture between a passenger plane and a bomber
One of those just crash landed last weekend. ☹️
Cool old plane and she sounds great!!! How long ago was she built? How many years ago?
The man said it was 75 years old, so 1944
So it probably played a role in ww2?
@@JasonShipley1979 Yes, I think he said it was a combat veteran

Can I use your video for a school project? I would link you channel in the description and put a water mark on the video.
Yes, as long as you leave our watermark and give us credit you can use it. Thanks for asking first!
Was this originally a B-25B? I see the turret in the back, and no taill gunner, but then I noticed the waist gunner windows and package guns, I don't think B-25Bs had waist gunners or package guns, are the windows there for viewing out of? It's like a mix between a B and a J model
RvillGaming Guessing...it might be a “C” or “ D”
She is a mix. She used to have a solid nose and no turret.
no problom
Two Warthog engine's bombs kamikaze switch blade that fly outwards to three destination
It is a Noisy SOB to!!!
in all of these videos where they have an old bomber the bomb bay door is always open, why?
Might be takeoff procedure, idk. Maybe to equalize the cabin pressure as the plane gains altitude? It's odd.
@@GetDougDimmadomed You might be right, but then why were they able to fly with it closed during the war? I think it might just be a way to signal that there are no bombs onboard.
SHE'S ALSO A D MODEL. NOT A C MODEL. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Do I need to be a “ good ole boy “ to crew the aircraft?
You need to be yourself!
Уловка 22. Кто смотрел поймет. Самолёт машина умница
Catch-22
At 5:28 , I wonder who owns the B-52 parked there?
It's owned by Yankee Air Museum as a static display. They also own the B-25 featured in the video!
B-25 music ... 5:39
🥰🥰🥰
You can dream of flying some snazzy Single engine, Single seat Fighter.... But when Shit goes sideways, You're going to want 2 engines, a few bombs, a ton of 50 cals, and some Friends to Live or Die with.
Gosh darn she's pretty. Im in 💕💕💕💕💕💕
who took off the machine guns? a b25 is no good without it machine guns
The plane of the liberators.
👋👋👋👌👌👌
I came here because of ron swanson , who did tho ?
Devil Dog will rattle your teeth.
My sons name is Mitchell
Startup does not happen until 4:37! Misleading.
No spitfire and hurricane and Lancasters are the best
Typical Brit..
Sadly, it was repainted to the PC Princes.
