Nice capture Jim. The last B25 I saw "in the flesh" was in Bordeaux in '53
or '54. She wore French colors and had a 75mm gun fixed in the nose. I
suspect it was returned from what was then Indochina. And NO! I can't
imagine the guts it took to drive that beast off the deck of a carrier.

Thanks for looking, Chris. And it is probably one of the noisiest, both
inside and out. When they landed over the parking lot at Wright Field,
Dayton, Ohio, in the early 1950s, they sounded like someone was rattling an
enormous bag of tin cans. A recent report on one of the last ones flying
said the noise inside during flight was much higher than other aircraft.

This well kept North American B-25 belonging to the CAF was seen at the
Galveston, TX airport in 1973. Just picture these flying from a carrier
deck, as Jimmy Doolittle did for the Tokyo Raid.
