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.

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...

What did you think of the LB-30?

True, actually of many army planes by 1945. You'll see the pics of P-51s, B-24s, and B-17s were also just left in the factory shine.

That P-40 wasn't a N model! The canopy is wrong and the area behind the cockpit would be cut down. I'd say a P-40E.

Front view Of the Lancaster





Personal ramblings: always thought the Lancaster was the coolest looking bomber of ww2. Incredibly ugly, but in a dignified sort of way.

Oh yeah, more pictures.
