The B-25 Mitchell Bomber was made famous on the daring 1942 Doolittle Raid on Tokyo.
C-45 Little Raider
Over 9,000 of these aircraft were produced at Beechcraft Aircraft in Wichita, Kansas from 1937 to 1970, making it one of the world’s most widely used, and longest produced light aircraft. Approximately half of the total production run saw military service during and after WWII.
C-47 “Spooky”
The Douglas AC-47 Spooky was the first in a series of fixed-wing gunships developed by the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War. It was designed to provide more firepower than light and medium ground-attack aircraft in certain situations when ground forces called for close air support.
