CACW.

Unknown squadrons?



This one looks to have a very worn YIN YANG emblem on its nose.

This one is only a partial image.
Fortunately the picture quality is so good you can read the serial number on the side of the fuselage.
#43-4327


42nd B/G.
Have not figured out what squadron yet?
Quite possibly it was a 42nd Bomb Group aircraft only with no squadron affiliation due to the pilot?



The aircraft is named after the commanding officer of the 49th Bomb group who also flew 48 missions & was a Penn State & Army football star back in the 1920's.

The aircraft is most likely OD/NG & the football uniform I am not sure if it would be in Army colours or Penn State's?
This group kept their B-25s fairly simple until the Late B-25J's  showed up. So I believe based off the photos I have found it would only have yellow tail numbers for this time frame.

We already have one from this squadron in game.
There is a couple of variations though that maybe of interest. For some reason they decided to take the paint off the nose on a number of them. Thought this might interest someone on that point. Also it looks like the were shipped with large tail numbers that at some point were changed over to a panel with a smaller number.

We already have a pretty good CACW B-25H skin, the one with the shark's mouth.

Yes Greebo did an excellent job with that one I gave him  :headscratch:
Well for that matter with everything in game he has done.

That reminds me I found a second photo of that plane very rough image that looks to have had a few changes from the original one.








Don't know if it is text or bombing mission markers under the cockpit?




Most of these B-25H prospects AKAK I have posted are skins Greebo was not interested in because they are to similar to others he has done before. Since he is the only person who has done any since the default that Fester did. I put the rest of these on the forums in case somebody else may want to do one.
Plus since only two nations used the B-25H in WWII a few more CACW skins wont hurt since all else will be American.
