B-25J 'MITCHELL' IN COMBAT OVER EUROPE (MTO).

In a typical format of the SMI series we are given 80 pages filled with archive photographs, both colour and black and white, colour drawings presenting four selected machines used on the MTO and two pages with unit badges and pin-up nose-arts.

Book content is divided into separate sections, as follows:

Introduction

340th Bomb Group

321st Bomb Group

310th Bomb Group

319th Bomb Group

Color gallery (also divided into smaller sections of particular BGs)

Nose pin-up art section

Bomb Group insignia & patches (contains also BSs insignia)

Color drawings of four selected planes

Most of the written text consists of the detailed descriptions of archive photographs. We can find there information about plane names and serial numbers, names of pilots and crew chiefs, dates of taking photos, locations and circumstances in which the plane was catched on photographic film. Sometimes there are also few words about characteristic details of the plane markings or colors featuring particular machine. From the modeller point of view these are quite informative details and clues of the way of finishing the scale replica.

The core and essence of the SMI content are archive photographs. Inside we will find 197 black and white followed by 36 color photographs depicting planes of all four bomber groups which used B-25J. All of them were deployed on Corsica. As the publisher declares many of these photos are published for the first time. The main focus of the photos is put on showing decorative nose-arts and other individual markings (like for example on the vertical stabilizers) so the front part of the Mitchell comes up very often. There are many close ups accompanied by crews posing to the picture in front of their planes. Very interesting shots were taken during combat flights or in bases but these are rarer than close ups of the girls. For me its not a fault. Few photos presents crash landed machines on the piles of stones or with torn off engines being examined by soldiers, which are great inspiration for dioramists or small display bases.

All texts of photo descriptions or introductions of each section are written both in English and Polish, with text put into two parallel columns or one above another.
