North American Mitchell B-25 B-25D B-25J

North American B-25J Mitchell Mk. III
Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum

The North American B-25 Mitchell is an American medium bomber that was introduced in 1941 and named in honor of Major General William "Billy" Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. Used by many Allied air forces, the B-25 served in every theater of World War II, and after the war ended, many remained in service, operating across four decades. Produced in numerous variants, nearly 10,000 B-25s were built.

The North American B-25 Mitchell was flown by the RCAF during and after the Second World War. The RCAF flew the B-25 Mitchell for training during the war and continued flying operations after the war, in Canada with most of 162 Mitchells received. The first B-25s had originally been diverted to Canada from RAF orders. These included one Mitchell Mk. I, 42 Mitchell Mk. IIs, and 19 Mitchell Mk. IIIs. No 13 (P) Squadron was formed unofficially at RCAF Station Rockcliffe in May 1944 and flew Mitchell Mk. IIs on high-altitude aerial photography sorties. No. 5 OTU (Operational Training Unit) at Boundary Bay, British Columbia and Abbotsford, British Columbia, operated the B-25D Mitchell in a training role together with B-24 Liberators for Heavy Conversion as part of the BCATP. The RCAF retained the Mitchell until October 1963.

No. 418 (Auxiliary) Squadron received its first Mitchell Mk. IIs in January 1947. It was followed by No. 406 (Auxiliary), which flew Mitchell Mk. IIs and Mk. IIIs from April 1947 to June 1958. No. 418 Operated a mix of Mk. IIs and Mk. IIIs until March 1958. No. 12 Squadron of Air Transport Command also flew Mitchell Mk. IIIs along with other types from September 1956 to November 1960. In 1951, the RCAF received an additional 75 B-25Js from USAF stocks to make up for attrition and to equip various second-line units.. Wikipedia and Harold Skaarup web page

413 (R) Photo Wing (RCAF) RCAF Rockcliffe

413 (Photographic) Squadron (Ad vigilamus undis) RCAF Rockcliffe. B-25 Mitchell aircraft 894 was missing on flight from Calgary, Alberta to Penticton, British Columbia. The aircraft encountered poor weather with icing conditions, fog and low visibility and crashed in a mountainous area near Nelson, BC with no survivors

LAC WH Molyneux (RCAF), Flight Lieutenant JL MacLeod DFC (RCAF), Flying Officer AG Robertson (RCAF), Flying Officer B Cook DFM (RCAF), Flying Officer GY Lebel DFC (RCAF), Leading Aircraftman BES Bowman (RCAF), Cpl JN Sabourin (RCAF) and two Canadian civilians, husband and wife Fred and Beulah Knight were all missing, presumed killed in this flying accident

A massive search was undertaken, covering 30,000 square miles, which failed to find the aircraft or survivors after a search lasting four weeks

On October 7, 1952, Mr Wilf Gibbard caught sunlight glinting off a piece of aluminum high on Record Mountain, near Rossland, BC while out hunting and Mitchell 894 was finally found

No human remains were found at the crash site and the missing have no known grave. They are commemorated on the Ottawa Memorial. A cairn was also erected at the crash site, October 14, 1952 to commemorate all lost in the crash

RCAF 894 was built for the USAAF as B25D-1 serial 41-29877 and converted to F-10 photo configuration before delivery to RCAF on 23 April 44. She was part of the "˜Photographic Flight,' later known as No. 413 (P) Squadron, from RCAF Rockcliffe, Ontario with tri-camera survey installation. She operated in British Columbia in late 1947 until lost

Known Squadron Assignments:

From Joe Baugher:

8883 (MSN 108-47734) N75755, then C-GCWA (ntu), then C-GCWM. Airworthy with Canadian Warplane Heritage, Hamilton, Ontario.

Restored as HD372 of 98 Sqn RAF.

From CWHM:

The Museum's B-25J Mitchell was assembled in Kansas City in early 1945, but never saw military service. It was operated as a civilian transport for over 25 years and the Museum found it abandoned at Wilmington Airport, Delaware, in 1975. After repairs, the aircraft was flown to the Museum, where it underwent extensive restoration. The aircraft now displays the markings of a B-25J of RAF No. 98 Squadron, which fought over North West Europe during 1944-45. It is dedicated to the Canadians who flew with that squadron.

Bombing Venlo Netherlands 1944-11-19 to 1944-11-19

226 (MB) Sqn (RAF) B.50 Vitry-en-Artois, France

November 1944 Allied High Command assigned the Mitchells and Bostons of 137 & 139 Wings RAF the job of destroying the bridges at Venlo, Holland to stymie the German retreat.

The two Wings attacked the bridges seven times damaging, but not destroying them. The Germans quickly repaired the damage and continued moving troops and equipment.

WO Cote RCAF was a Wireless Air Gunner in one of the Mitchells and experienced one of the most unique life escapes of the war

His aircraft was hit by flak on the run in and broke in two just ahead of the upper turret. The starboard (right) wing also broke off from the fuselage and the three parts spun violently down. Cote was strapped in to his seat on the MUG. The spin continued for for several thousand feet before settling into a fluttering motion like a falling leaf. which it did to the ground, landing in an orchard. The farmer helped Cote from the tail section after a fall of 11500 feet suffering various injuries, the most serious being a broken leg. All other crew were killed.

Killed: Squadron Leader Gilbert Campbell DFC RAF pilot KIA Jonkerbos War Cemetery grave 20. A. 7. Flying Officer Douglas Gerald Farquhar DFC RAF (Amer.) KIA Jonkerbos War Cemetery Joint grave 20. A. 8-9. Flying Officer John Lawry Halliday RAF KIA Jonkerbos War Cemetery grave 20. A. 6. Pilot Officer William Hodson RAF KIA Jonkerbos War Cemetery Joint grave 20. A. 8-9. Pilot Officer Wallace Edgar Osmond RAAF KIA Jonkerbos War Cemetery grave 20. A. 5.

POW: Because of his injuries the farmer had to inform the Germans. They splinted his broken leg, but 3 weeks later it still hadn't been set. Many days and many moves later an Australian doctor (and also a POW) was allowed to break and re-set the leg and place it in traction until it was healed. Cote was then returned to the general population. There is no record of where Cote was a POW.

He was liberated by the US Army in April 1945 and flown back to England to his wife Winifred (Howell), whom he had married in 1943, and his daughter Carolyne, born in Sept. 1944. They moved to Ottawa, Ontario to live with his mother, Ida Cote.

Bombing 1944-07-24 to 1944-07-24

() Sqn (RAF) Hartford Bridge

Ramrod

Mitchell aircraft FW 210 was hit by flak during a bombing operation against enemy troop concentrations south of Caen, France. The crew was forced to bail out over the English Channel west of Brest, France. F/Os G. Green and L.W. Pattyson were also killed. One Canadian member of the crew states he was the first out of the aircraft and saw three other parachutes. Air-sea rescue stated there were other boats in the vicinity that might have picked up the others who bailed out.

12 Mitchell.II aircraft of 226 Squadron in company with 48 MITCHELLS from 139 WING were detailed to attack Wood U1160, containing a large concentration of troops, heavy and mobile guns. All aircraft did not bomb. The first box was unable to bomb, owing to the navigator of the lead aircraft being wounded on the bombing run and aircraft No.2 became out of control, with its port engine on fire. The second box was unable to bomb, owing to the G.H. operator of the leading aircraft being off track. 1 aircraft is missing, the crew baling out 30 to 40 miles N of CAEN and were seen to take to their K type dinghies, 1 Navigator was wounded in another aircraft. 1 aircraft landed in the beachead at B5. 4 aircraft received minor damage from flak. Very intense and accurate flak over the target area.

Stolen on 6 December 1944 by Sgt. D.P. Scratch, who flew the aircraft for several hours before crashing 4 miles north of Boundary Bay airport, killing himself. From the Globe and Mail newspaper, 9 December 1944: Scratch had enlisted in the RCAF on 18 July 1940. Court-martialled and dismissed from the service in August 1944 for conducting a similar unauthorized flight in a Liberator in Newfoundland. He was a commissioned officer at that time. He had been permitted "due to a scarcity of flying personnel" to re-enlist as a Sergeant (pilot). He had previously tried to steal a Liberator that night, but damaged it badly during attempted take-off. He then jumped in the Mitchell and proceeded to beat up the area for several hours before crashing. Declared Category A, to No. 3 Repair Depot on 8 December 1944 for scrapping

Known Squadron Assignments: No RAF service

Ex USAAF B-25D-15-NC serial number 41-30548

One of 29 used late model B-25Ds ordered in late 1944 in two batches (the first for 17 a/c, the second for 12) for the expansion of No. 5 Operational Training Unit (OTU) at Boundary Bay (Vancouver), British Columbia.

No. 5 OTU, operated by the RCAF British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), was an RAF heavy bomber conversion unit where Mitchells were a training step for aircrew destined to fly B-24 Liberators. B-25J model Mitchells were being produced at the time, but the RCAF wanted to match the B-25C/Ds already in service at Boundary Bay to limit confusion for crews in training, so they requested reconditioned used aircraft preferably from USAAF training bases. The RCAF specified no guns or armour protection were to be provided and related turrets removed if possible.

The USAAF could not source enough B-25D training versions and after discussion with RCAF officials the remainder of the order was filled with suitable Mitchells from combat and patrol units. All 29 aircraft were overhauled, including new engines as required, at Kelly Field Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. All were inspected and approved by Squadron Leader Black, RCAF Resident inspector at Kelly Field.
