'Yorktown' B-25D Mitchell to be restored

摘要

North American B-25D Mitchell 41-29784 Furtle Turtle is to be restored aboard the USS Yorktown, part of the Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. The aircraft will be repainted to represent a B-25B used in the famous 1942 Doolitte Raid, an attempt to strike the Japanese mainland using 16 carrier-borne Mitchells. The work is expected to cost $150,000 (£116,000) and will take around a year to complete.
