I get a kick out of the Bolo. It beat out the Boeing 299.
Protecting the bomb sight or the Beer?I just noticed 2 of the crew have their guns drawn, maybe protecting the bomb sight?
Flashback to my Cav Officer course at Ft Know. We were training in a locked underground bunker on the latest radio procedures and the new encryption device. 1 radio 4 students and two chairs. Two radios on a table.
Is the camouflaged plane really the same as the one with the installed gun? I'm asking because in every B-25 "Bible" we can find the photo on the right with the explanation how this particular frame has been used for trials by Army Ordnance Department in 1938 (Capt. Horace Quinn). If the camouflaged a/c is the same but 2 years later, that's a great find!In 1940 there was an All American Aviation show at Bolling Field where, tucked away in a corner of one hangar, there was a B-18 that was trial-fitted with a 75mm cannon. It was a crude lash-up but apparently it gave valuable data for adapting the B-25 to carry it.

I guess that could be. The one in the American Airpower Museum doesn't have it IIRC.But isn't the DC 3 wing attachment hidden under the wing fillet? I do not remember seeing the bolts exposed before like on the B18?
