Ever since I saw Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, I've been a huge fan of the B-25 in all it's forms.
I was pretty amazed a few years ago to find out about the Ryan FR-1 Fireball built just prior to the end of WW2. Pretty neat reading about how the test pilots would pull up beside a conventional aircraft, shut off the radial engine and then proceed to pull away from the astonished pilot of the other aircraft using the jet engine.
