Descriptionof B-25 Mitchell Units of the CBI
Manufacturer

Flying from and between bases in China and India, the B-25s bombed every type of Japanese target during World War II in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theater, ultimately dropping more bombs than their larger four-engined B-24 Liberator brethren. Mitchell bombers took on the task of disrupting the flow of Japanese supplies to the frontlines at medium ranges, bombing supply centers, railway depots, and bridges. It was in this last capacity that the B-25 established a unique role as a "bridge-buster." This provided significant support for the British Fourteenth Army as they advanced into Burma. Fully illustrated with detailed cutaway artwork, this book tells the important, yet forgotten story of B-25 operations in the CBI Theater and the important role that this aircraft played on the road to victory.

Illustrated with crack drawings and colour aircraft profiles, this book tells the important but often forgotten story of B-25 operations in the China-Burma-India theatre of war and the vital role this aircraft played on the road to Allied victory.
