Service in multiple operational domains made the B-25 the most versatile aircraft of its type, fulfilling a variety of tactical roles in many different operational environments.

The early B-25Bs used in the Doolittle Raid performed well, but were already undergoing modernization. The later C/D model (different letters were used to designate the manufacturer) turned out to be the final version of this extremely effective medium bomber. An durable extremely and versatile aircraft, the Mitchell served as an anti-submarine patrol aircraft off the coast of Florida and as a strike bomber in the deserts of North Africa, and excelled in both. Some of the later versions of the B-25 became the most heavily armed aircraft of the war, equipped with at least 18 machine guns and an array of other offensive weapons.
