  • This
  • is
  • the
  • third
  • and
  • final
  • book
  • about
  • the
  • North
  • American
  • B-25
  • Mitchell
  • in
  • service.
  • The
  • Volumes
  • 1
  • and
  • 2
  • of
  • "Mitchell
  • Masterpieces"
  • dealt
  • with
  • the
  • B-25s
  • in
  • military
  • service.
  • In
  • this
  • Volume
  • 3,
  • many
  • B-25s
  • are
  • described
  • which
  • operated
  • in
  • civil
  • service
  • in
  • all
  • different
  • countries. After
  • the
  • Second
  • World
  • War,
  • the
  • B-25
  • got
  • a
  • role
  • in
  • civil
  • aviation.
  • Many
  • airplanes
  • were
  • stripped
  • of
  • their
  • armament
  • and
  • other
  • military
  • equipment
  • and
  • often
  • came
  • through
  • auctions
  • in
  • the
  • civilian
  • market.
  • They
  • came
  • in
  • private
  • hands
  • and
  • were
  • deployed
  • for
  • transportation
  • of
  • personnel
  • or
  • goods,
  • for
  • training,
  • fire
  • fighting,
  • agricultural
  • spraying
  • of
  • other
  • purposes.
  • Some
  • were
  • converted
  • into
  • a
  • luxury
  • business
  • plane
  • and
  • some
  • were
  • used
  • in
  • the
  • film
  • industry. This
  • book
  • should
  • serve
  • as
  • a
  • general
  • view
  • of
  • the
  • companies,
  • organisations
  • and
  • owners
  • and
  • the
  • B-25s
  • they
  • flew.
  • Moreover,
  • the
  • book
  • would
  • not
  • be
  • complete
  • if
  • no
  • attention
  • was
  • paid
  • to
  • the
  • civilian
  • B-25s
  • in
  • the
  • various
  • museums
  • and
  • the
  • warbird
  • circuit.
  • All
  • this
  • is
  • described
  • in
  • detail
  • and
  • provided
  • with
  • about
  • 750
  • pictures,
  • many
  • of
  • which
  • are
  • in
  • full colour.
