The Fairfax District in Kansas City, Kansas, was the assembly site for the B-25 Mitchell Bomber, manufactured by North American Aviation. Historian Dan Desko details this history, from the bomber’s production at the plant to its use in the war effort – including the famous Doolittle Raid on Tokyo and other Japanese cities in April 1942. He also examines the role of engineers, assembly line workers, test pilots, and others involved in the B-25’s production. A tour of the exhibit will follow the presentation. Refreshments will be provided. The presentation is free to attend.
