EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the United States Navy's North American PBJ-1 Mitchell 35857, also known as NAMU 35857, stationed at the Naval Air Maintenance Unit (NAMU) at Naval Air Station Johnstown, Pennsylvania in 1946. The Mitchell, a variant of the iconic B-25 bomber, was originally built as a B-25J, with the military serial number 44-30988, and was delivered to the United States Army Air Force on March 20, 1945. Remarkably, it was transferred directly to the United States Navy with the Bureau Number 35857. The Mitchell's distinctive silhouette, with its distinctive round turret and bomb bay doors open, exudes a sense of power and determination. The image captures the bustling activity of the Naval Air Station, with other aircraft in the background and personnel working on the tarmac. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the United States Navy's use of the Mitchell bomber during the post-war era, as the aircraft continued to serve an important role in naval aviation.
