This iconic warplane, with the serial number 98-22104, is a significant addition to the museum's collection, showcasing the rich history of the United States Air Force (USAF). The North American B-25 Mitchell was a medium bomber used extensively during World War II, with over ten thousand produced between 1940 and 1945. The B-25H-10 variant, specifically, was designed for maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare. Equipped with a magnetic anomaly detector and depth charges, these aircraft were instrumental in protecting convoys from submarine attacks in the Pacific Theater. 43-5103, the North American B-25H-10 on display at Lackland Air Force Base, served in the USAF from 1945 to 1960. Its history during this period is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been used for various roles, including training and transport missions. The aircraft's acquisition by the USAF History and Traditions Museum marks the preservation of an essential piece of military aviation history. Visitors to the museum can appreciate the intricacies of this versatile aircraft up close, gaining an understanding of its role in protecting American interests during wartime. The North American B-25H-10 Mitchell 43-5103 is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the men and women who designed, built, and flew these remarkable machines.
