Consolidated PBY-5 production line 1942 mfr N4451 (16347896002)
Production. B-25 bombers. Final assembly bay of a Western aircraft plant in which wings are installed on B-25 bombers. General Doolittle, who flew in a B-25 in the raid on Tokyo, has called the ship the best military plane in existence. With plenty of speed, a 1700-mile cruising range and a ceiling of 25,000 feet, it has performed brilliantly as a medium bomber and as an escort plane. Fairfax bomber plant, Kansas City
