| Aaron Robinson Wilmington, NC | The last B-25D was accepted in March 1944, by which time B-25J production had already begun. 06/16/2010 @ 08:33 [ref: 26598] |
| Jack Parker , MA | For Doug Smith.
The Collins Foundation "Wings of Freedom" tour sells rides on their B25, B24 and B17 - they also offer flight training in a P51. Expensive, but it's a worthy cause. See http://www.collingsfoundation.org/cf_schedule-wof.htm for their schedule. 02/01/2009 @ 09:05 [ref: 23601] |

| Everard EEMNES NETHERLAND EUROPA, OTH | PICTURES OF THE B-25, ESPECIALLY THE TURRET.
My name is Everard Bakker and I am coming from Holland. In 2001, I started to write about a Dutch Royal Marines who was during World War II airgunner and served the Dutch 320 Squadron RAF. The 320 squadron flew with the B-25 C, the Mitchell with the 2nd TAF. This veteran, Mr Jonker, is still alive. He is 88 years old and has a really good mind. He is living in the house of Dutch veterans in Arnhem Holland, called Bronbeek. Lloof for more information about Bronbeek ( www.bronbeek.nl ) Till today I\\\'m still working (in my freetime) of this unbelieveable life-story. And I still can confirm that his life-story has really took place. On the 25th Oct 1943 Mr Jonker became very heavily wounded when there was a explosion in the dorsal turret. His arm was almost gone, and his whole body was full of schrapnels of the shell. It is very important to show to the readers how the interior was of the Mitchell, especially of the dorsal turret. The number of the Mitchell should be the B-25C (15-NA), with the number; FR 169 (42-32514). But, I have a great problem!!! I would show the readers of this story the interior of the Mitchell B-25, with the Dorsal and Ventral turret, the rear and the bomb bay. Unfortunately I can\\\'t find a picture of this interior. There are still Mitchells, but I am especially looking for the interior where you can see the ventral turret! The book is almost ready, but it isn\\\'t finished when I haven\\\'t found some picture of the interior . When I not found this pictures, the readers could\\\'nt seen (and understand) how close and dangerous the airgunner did his job!!! And they also couldn\\\'t understand how heavily wounded he was lying on the ground of the Mitchell on the 25th October 1943, when he was so heavily wounded on his arm/ legs and back. This book is dedicated to the crewmembers of the RAF!!! Please, could you and the veteran, airgunner Mr. Jonker help us??!!!. He is now 88 and waiting when his book is ready!!! If you are interested I will send you a picture with Mr Jonker and me together. This picture is made on Bronbeek, the house and also museum where Mr Jonker is living. Only, this picture is 700 kb. If you are interest, I will send you his story and pictures of him. yours Sincereley, Everard Bakker Eemnes Netherland 03/16/2005 @ 06:17 [ref: 9713] |
| George Stockton, CA | Hello all, I have a mysterious picture of a B-25 in the pacific of WWII that has a radar dome above the cockpit, a dome of some sort on the starboard wing, and bat-style nose art. This plane seems to be painted black. In thepicture the cockpit is covered with a tarp. There are two identical planes in the picture. The only marking that is clear is a "D" painted on the "wing" of the bat nose art. The bat has a mouth full of teeth, similar to markings on P-40 warhawks. If you may know something about this or would like a picture, please email me because I want to know more.
