A living piece of World War II aviation history will be back in Iola Wednesday.
A B-25J — Miss Mitchell — stopped in Iola for refueling Sunday while en route from Minnesota to San Antonio, Texas.
There, the old warbird was to take part in a ceremonial flyover to honor the legacy of Lt. Col. Dick Cole, the last surviving member of the “Doolittle Raiders,” who died in 2019 at age 103.
Miss Mitchell will arrive back in Iola sometime around 11 a.m. Wednesday, where the crew will have the aircraft on display while filling up the tank.
