Kagero 19006 06 - B-25J "Mitchell". In Combat over Europe (MTO) is a unique, collectible album dedicated to the legendary B-25J Mitchell medium bomber, used by the United States Air Forces and Allied countries during World War II. The publication focuses on the air operations of this specific aircraft version in the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations (MTO), presenting richly illustrated documentary materials not found in other modeling or historical publications.

Based on archival materials, the publication offers:

• 80 pages in high-quality print on coated paper,
• 197 unique black-and-white historical photographs,
• 36 color photographs,
• 4 high-class color profiles by Janusz Światłoń – including detailed nose art graphics and side views,
• a unique, rare decal sheet with markings for B-25J-2 models: “MMR” (Margaret Mary Rustin), “Paper Doll”, and “My Naked Ass!”,
• captions in two languages: Polish and English,
• mentions of Polish airmen's participation in combat missions over southern Europe.

B-25J Mitchell is an American twin-engine medium bomber designed by North American Aviation, used from 1942 to 1945, with the highest number of missions during World War II. The J variant was the last and most produced model, distinguished by more powerful armament. The US Air Force used it for precision bombing, night operations, and ground support in Mediterranean operations over Italy, the Balkans, and southern France.

The Kagero 19006 06 product belongs to the modeling literature and historical books category with collectible extras. The decal sheet allows you to enrich 1/72, 1/48, or 1/32 scale plastic models with unique markings. The album is published in softcover with matte paper.

I highly recommend this product to intermediate and advanced modelers as well as all aviation history enthusiasts who want to faithfully recreate B-25J models from the European campaign. The material's difficulty level is 2/5 – ideal as a reference for model building and as a source of historical and visual inspiration.
