Thanks to Smeagol to Others I was able to add this to the thread on B-25H load outs.

Enjoy!!!

Nice. I know that the load plan was based on the target type. Does anyone have information about the mix used for different types of targets.

Hi DBII,

I just stumbled across this site. Check it out. Lots of documents on the squadrons that flew the B-25. Might find out some info here. Lots of reading and downloading for me.

B-25s of the MTO's 12th, 310th, 319th, 321st, 340th Bomb Groups, European-African-Middle Eastern (EAME) Campaign

Hi Charles,

I will have to do some digging but I dont think I have any more pictures of the 75mm cannon though I have plenty of pictures from different books with it installed but not alot of details. I will see what I can find.

Thanks for your effort, there is some in "the machine gun" but very blurry, awful quality pics.

 

[Micdrow]

Thanks Charles,

I havent found anything more the cannon but found this that might interest you.

 

[Micdrow]

I took these a couple of years back that might be of interest also.
