This B-25J Mitchell was assembled in Kansas City in early 1945, but never saw military service. The Museum found it abandoned at Wilmington Airport, Delaware, in 1975. After repairs, the aircraft was flown to the Museum, where it underwent extensive restoration. It carries the markings of a B-25J of RAF No. 98 Squadron, which fought over North West Europe during 1944-45.
