Caption: The B-25 "Mitchell "
Additional Description: Original marker, which reads: The B-25, Mitchell, medium bomber served America admirably during World War II and was used widely for training and liaison work following the war. From January 1954 through August 1958, 90 of these aircraft were used for multi-engine pilot training at Goodfellow AFB, where 2,434 pilots were trained.
B-25, Serial Number 44-28875, saw service from September 1944 through May 1959. The aircraft was then retired and displayed proudly by the city of San Angelo. This proud old bird was returned to its final home at Goodfellow AFB in the spring of 1983. It symbolizes the contributions of the U.S. Armed Forces to preserve democracy and freedom for a grateful nation. 11 Nov 1983
