Original – North American B-25 Mitchell production in Kansas City in 1942. The yellow color is due to zinc chromate, applied to prevent corrosion of aluminum.
Reason
Technically excellent, historic, irreplaceable, high encyclopedic value. Clearly illustrates the condition and appearance of an aircraft factory in World War II, as well as the use of zinc chromate to prevent corrosion.
