| NORTH AMERICAN B-25 MITCHELL | Joining the Raiders Flying through history AS IT TURNS OUT, the tales are true. The stories of how you don't taxi a B-25-instead you herky-jerky your way to the runway; a cockpit so loud it will make your ears bleed; so much vibration you have to lock down the engine controls every second you're not moving them. Of course, especially during training, you're moving the controls all the time to keep the dueling Wrights happy-so that last one doesn't count so much. BY THOMAS B.
