Warbird Information Exchange

Somewhere, some years ago, I read something about the USAAF suffering a number of B-25 take-off accidents after the release of the movie “Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo” that showed the max performance takeoff technique the Raiders used and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about that?

I can see some hotshot captain giving it a try.
After all if Van Johnson could do it...

Seriously, the B-25 had/has a good reputation for being forgiving, meaning someone might be more willing to push it than a type with a demanding reputation. Like a short-wing B-26.
My father had Mitchell time and enjoyed it, and I know two warbird pilots with B-25 ratings, again, it has a good reputation.
