Nearest example is Mitchell Mk.III, equivalent to the B25J. The second aircraft is an earlier Mitchell Mk.II, equivalent to the B25C & D. Note the difference in the turret position and more tapered fuselage on the Mk.II with no tail gunner. The lump under the fuselage is a retracted, remotely sighted ventral turret.

Can i just say the fact that this country has a museum that maintain and document millions of artifacts from wars for over a hundred years is simply amazing, not to mention the pictures and videos are in public domain. I mean i dont think I appreciate the fact that I can find dozens of pictures from my great grandfather's squadron from iver eighty years ago as easily as putting 3 letters into a search engine, pressing a link and then typing in a number and location. Its truly amazing

I tend to think of the B-25 as the aircraft deployed in the "Doolittle" raid on Tokyo in 1942. I didn't know they'd seen European service but I guess by 1945 all different types of US built aircraft had taken to the skies of the ETO.
