Nearly 10,000 B-25s were built and about 30 are still flying today. One of those 30 was bought at auction in excellent flying condition back in 1969 for only $3,500.00. The B-25 was the only bomber used by all combat branches of the service, the most versatile airframe in our inventory, and had the most varied combinations of bombs, rockets, guns, cannons, torpedos and fuel tanks in the war.
