Hi,

Can anyone out there point me in the direction of photos of the B-25 camera aircraft used in making the movie, Battle of Britain? I’ve tried Google search with very limited results…perhaps the wrong search words.

Thanks,

Mike

The Mitchel is on the other aeroplanes in the film page which should be back online in a few days.

Find a copy of the October 2007 Air & Space Magazine. Has an X-15 on the cover. There is an interesting story about Paul Mantz and a picture to the B-25 camera plane he built.
