Notes:

B-25J Mitchell “Maid in the Shade” was built in early 1944, one of 34 B-25Js still flying today. Its most distinguishing role was in the historic raid over Tokyo in 1942 by the Doolittle Raiders. This particular B-25J Maid In The Shade served her wartime duty with the 319th Bomb Group, 437th Squadron at Serragia Airbase, Corsica. She flew 15 combat missions over Italy and Yugoslavia in the end of 1944.
