Another 12th B/G.
















Found out I already had the other 12th bomb group photos I posted before in a book I have.
It has better images of #10.

345th B/G.
498th B/S.

Clana louise.

The profile is incorrect with regards to the bare metal mouth.
It should be painted black.







Coral Princess.
Only -1 B-25H lost by this squadron due to being shot down.

Forgot to mention the squadron logo is on both sides of the nose.





Couple more I had tucked away I forgot about.
On the second aircraft you can see the bridges destroyed under the pilots seat along with bombing mission markers.

1st ACG.

Dolly.










The number 17 was on both sides of the nose from what I have read.

12th B/G 81st B/S.


"Texas Gal"

This particular aircraft people have been searching for a long while for it's tactical number. The only known photos have been of the nose art. I have found two images and its #16. One of the images shows a serial number however its not legible. Also found a second photo of the right hand side of the aircraft and it has no serial number.

After looking at a number of photos the 12th bomb group they did away with the serial numbers at some point. Why? Have no idea. That aside it therefor makes this aircraft a candidate for a skin.

I do have a profile for #10 before the nose job.
Plus a classic case of don't trust profiles.
Tail number is not a match to the photo.

Another 12th Bomb Group.

Leroy's Joy.












Also another example of the profile being wrong.
It shows a yellow serial number and also looks to be wrong based off of the photo below it.







My best guess is #43-4175.
