The B-25 Mitchell became the most-produced American bomber of World War II, with nearly 10,000 built, but its fame rests largely on a single mission: the Doolittle Raid of April 1942, when sixteen of them launched from the deck of USS Hornet to strike Tokyo. The Marshall Islands, themselves the site of fierce Pacific fighting and U.S. nuclear testing postwar, issued a long run of commemorative brass dollars in the early 1990s targeting the collector market directly — most saw no circulation whatsoever.
