Description
This is a North American B-25H - Mitchell built in 1943, It was used in World War II and served as a bomber, it has a 75mm canon in it's nose, and .50 caliber guns in it's face, and then some. It's said that the reason why they paint faces and words on the sides of these planes is to get the enemy to read them and hold still long enough to read them - it's like a bumper sticker for the sky.

Great job Mike, and thanks for the note on why they painted them up. Makes sense to me. We have a neighbor that was a nose gunner in a B-17 and he was shot down over Germany. Spent more than a year in German prison camps. He never talks about it though. I asked him once how it was. His answer was "I didn't like it much."
