RB-25 Mitchell Shown here at the New England Airshow at Westover ARB, Massacusetts, this Mitchell was just the FOURTH built of this iconic WW2 type. In a way, it was a wonder that this aircraft survived; mainly, this was because it was adopted as the personal transport of USAAC General H. H. 'Hap' Arnold. Hence the nose art, 'Miss Hap' ! This Mitchell's type designation, RB-, doesn't mean that it was intended for reconnaissance duties, it refers to a 'Restricted' rating, which means it was not up to combat standards. #B25 #Mitchell #USAAC #WW2 #General #HHHapArnold #HapArnold #airshow #avgeek #Massachusetts #USA #UnitedStates #aircraft #noseart #photography #aircraftphotography #Westover #ARB #AirReserveBase #MissHap
