About the B-25 Berlin Express
The North American B-25 Mitchell was one of the most versatile and widely used medium bombers of World War II. Known for its durability and adaptability, it served in every major theater of the war and became especially famous for its role in the Doolittle Raid. Designed to perform in a wide range of conditions, the B-25 earned a reputation as a reliable and formidable aircraft.
Today, only a limited number of B-25s remain, and even fewer are still flying. Through the Experimental Aircraft Association's flight experience program, visitors have the rare opportunity to see this historic aircraft up close—and even take to the skies in it.
