Well that particular B25 was a B-25C-10NA Serial # 42-32354 which was only used for that show and never saw action being as it was built in the 1960's.  The storyline for the show had the plane as part of the 12th AF in the MTO.  The show was based on the discovery of the B24 "Lady Be Good" which crashed into the Sahara desert under mysterious circumstances. 

That 25 still exists in pieces.  Better known as "King Nine"

Come on Cthulhu, hit me with another one.

You sure it's in pieces?  The only thing I found was that it retained the paint scheme and is owned by Aero Trader in Chino.  I saw where it was owned by a Jim Hardwick and was stored dismantled in his yard in the 1960's, but Aero Trader bought it in 1988, I can't find anything on their site about it either.

Sterling Hayden a.k.a. John Hamilton (name he enlisted in the USMC as)  oohhrahhh
Served as a Marine and OSS agent during WWII to include running guns through the German lines to Yugoslav partisans and parachuting into Croatia.

Been in a pile of movies such as The Asphalt Jungle, Dr. Strangelove, and The Godfather

I'm not really that smart I just happened to remember running across this pic when I was doing my Wild Bill Donovan post.  ;)
