Very nice pictures, but you'd better save this one. You're pilots are going to need it before long. [;)]

Actually, T, this looks like a B-26 to me, but I could be wrong.

I was referring to the plane above it with the top turret right behind the cockpit. I can't think of what plane has that congiguration

No the plane called "Yankee Warrior"is indeed a B-25, not sure which model though. It may actually be a PBJ-1J, which was the Navy version of the Army J model. Many of these machines had the dorsal turret removed to save weight. The other one you were referring to, with the turret behind the cockpit is also a B-25, the J model.

According to someone on this forum

link

it's a model B-25 model D. Btw, is the shine on the bomber because of the lack of paint? I read in Bergerud's 'Fire in the Sky' that they removed the paint on B-26s and P-38s in order to reduce weight & improve speed.

Both "Yankee Warrior" and "Briefing Time" are B-25's...
