The North American B‐25 Mitchell is a twin-engine, medium bomber best known for its versatility and reliability during World War II. Flown by Allied forces around the world, B‐25s carried out missions ranging from bombing and strafing to reconnaissance and training, making the aircraft a critical part of the war effort.

Show Me is preserved as a flying example of this historic bomber. Maintained by the Commemorative Air Force, the aircraft continues to serve as a living history classroom—giving visitors a rare chance to see, hear, and experience what it was like to fly aboard a World War II bomber.
