Always liked the B-25. A real workhorse.

They're turning that prop the wrong way. :)

Nice eBay find.

I like collecting images of early model Fortresses.  This one is in a bit of a bind :)

Favorites of mine and a print I own.  Klibbe and Rankin.  Autographed by both of them.  Always liked the P47.  56th FG flew them the entire war and were the highest scoring FG in the ETO.

(Image removed from quote.)

This is the one above and behind my computer.  Signed by 13 370th FG P38 pilots.  Got it along with the B10 jacket and Ike Jacket of one of the signers.
