The B-25 is an American twin-engined medium bomber. Just four months after the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, sixteen B-25B Mitchell bombers were launched from the aircraft carrier Hornet 600 miles off the coast of Japan. Their mission was to attack the Japanese cities of Tokyo and Nagoya in a daring raid intended to act as a diversion and to boost American and Allied morale. Bringing together the legacy of these brave veterans and the B-25, the Disabled American Veterans has teamed up with Larry Kelley, owner of the B-25 “Panchito”, to spread their message of the services available to all disabled veterans and their families. “Panchito” is one of the twenty-four airworthy B-25 planes in existence today.
