The Black Widow
« on: June 18, 2022, 04:11:34 AM »
Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

"The Black Widow" was a B-25C of the 82nd BS, part of the 12th Bomb Group. A semi-naked woman in a spider's web formed its nose art and a disruptive camo scheme was field-applied over the standard olive drab.

The 12th Bomb Group began the war patrolling the seas off the West Coast of America but in late 1942 transferred to the Middle East theatre. Here they supported the Allied armies in North Africa by bombing enemy communications, bases and supply dumps. They continued this work in Sicily and into Italy until January 1944 when they were moved to the Far East to attack the Japanese forces in Burma and China.

Awesome looking skin.  Nice to find a unit that saw action in both MTO and CBI theaters!
