1st ACG.

Irene.





The best part of this aircraft is the tail art work that is using a term for the game of Craps.

Another 12th Bomb Group.

Leroy's Joy.









My best guess is #43-4175.

After looking at the first photo some more I can read 4 of the 6 tail numbers.

43-43??



So based off of this I would stay with the profile tail numbers unless I can find something else confirming otherwise.

"Sunny Side Special"
This is a photo I found on EBAY. It has a few unusual things about it. The serial number is a Chinese designation that also supports why no USA roundels anymore. Also the antennas on the underside of the aircraft are very unusually placed. Possibly a special arrangement for an armed aircraft that had a radio purpose while in mission?

This aircraft is most likely a 1st Bomb Group CACW B-25H.
Outside chance it is a 21st Recon squadron who also used B-25's.
