Price per Unit (piece): $29.90

Picture yourself in the cockpit flying the B-25 Mitchell the best-known American medium bomber of World War 2. See what Jimmy Doolittle`s B25 crews saw, hear what they heard, snugly cradled between two great big Wright Cyclone twin-row engines that just kept going forever, dragging them off the deck of the USS Hornet taking them all the way to Tokyo & beyond! Old timers say that the only time you worry about a radial engine is when it isn`t throwing oil around & in this DVD you can almost smell it! The bomber featured in this documentary is a B-25J, operated by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum & we launch, not from the USS Hornet in mid-Pacific, but from Hamilton International Airport near Lake Ontario, Canada. Youll be right there in the cockpit for a complete flight from engine start to shutdown using the same drills as B-25 Mitchell crews used in WW2. Youll be following in some famous footsteps as you accompany the crew chief & co-pilot as they perform the pre-flight checks & walk around. There are also some fascinating B-25 handling notes from Captain Andy Dobson. The North American B-25 Mitchell is perhaps the best known allied medium bomber of World War Two. It was named to honour General Billy Mitchell, a pioneer of military aviation in the United States, in particular the use of bombers against battleships. A rugged, reliable aircraft, the B-25 saw service in almost every theatre, with several air forces & was much loved by aircrews. More than 10,000 B-25 Mitchells were built. If you like round engines, youll love this DVD! To view a clip of this DVD go to www.classiccockpits.com (Aussie RRP $25 converts to NZ$33 w/out currency conversion charges & fgt)
