Hi Everyone!
Before the North American B-25 Mitchell was finally chosen as the aircraft type used in Jimmy Doolittle's bombing mission over Japan, other aircraft types were also being considered.
One of them is the Fairey Hendon (modified from the original for the mission), a British bomber design.
The profile shows the Fairey Hendon in the same colours and markings as those actually used on the B-25's that actually took part in the mission.
