History of the B-25C/D in RAF service

The North American B-25 Mitchell is a medium bomber from the Second World War, extensively used by Allied forces. The C and D variants stood out for their sturdy construction, solid armor, and the ability to carry a wide range of offensive armament. As part of the Lend-Lease program, a significant number of B-25C/D aircraft were delivered to the RAF, where they were designated "Mitchell Mk. II." The British employed these aircraft for numerous bombing missions, ground attacks, and operations supporting landings and ground force actions, operating in France, Italy, and the Netherlands between 1943 and 1945.
