126 B-25 MITCHELL UNITS OF THE CBI

1-992126

Flying from and between bases in China and India, the B-25s bombed every type of Japanese target during WWII in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theater, ultimately dropping more ordinance than their larger four-engined B-24 Liberator brethren.

Mitchell bombers took on the task of disrupting the flow of Japanese supplies to the frontlines at medium ranges, bombing Japanese supply centers, railway depots and bridges. It was in this last capacity that the B-25 established a unique role as a 'bridge-buster.' This provided significant support for the British 14th Army as they advanced into Burma. Fully illustrated with detailed cutaway artwork.
