The Olympic Flight Museum will host the B-25 "Maid In The Shade" Aug. 11-18. The B-25 Mitchell was made famous by the Doolittle Raiders, when 16 of these medium bombers took off the deck of the USS Hornet and bombed Tokyo just four months after Pearl Harbor. The B-25 served in both theaters of war in many roles from bomber to transport. After the war, it continued service best known for its role as a fire bomber. The aircraft will be on display for the public, offering cockpit tours and rides. {WV}
