    Looks like B-25 "Mitchell" medium bombers in the background.

    Very early B-25 medium bombers, no tail gunner. This was the type used to bomb Tokyo, flown from an aircraft carrier. A one-way trip by the Doolittle Raiders.

VH-AQD De Havilland Tiger Moth

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The Tiger Moth became the primary trainer throughout the Commonwealth and elsewhere. It was the principal type used in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, where thousands of military pilots got their first taste of flight in a Tiger Moth. The RAF found the Tiger Moth's handling ideal for training fighter pilots. Generally docile and forgiving in the normal flight phases encountered during initial training, when used for aerobatic and formation training, the Tiger Moth required skill and concentration to perform well; a botched maneuver could cause the aircraft to stall or spin. From 1941 onwards, all military and many civilian Tiger Moths were outfitted with antispin strakes positioned on the junction between the fuselage and the leading edge of the tailplane, known as Mod 11'; later on, the aileron mass balances were removed for improved spin recovery performance.[16] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Tiger_Moth
