This is a beautiful shot of a modified B-25D-25 from the type D2. The waist and tail gun position have been probably added in a repair depot in the Pacific (probably Hawaii). There is an interesting fact about the exact time this photo has been made. AFAIK the white mid-fuselage band and the mustang head are the 500-th BS. markings from the late '43 period. But the red cowl rings are markings added in the early '44. After July'44 all a/cs in the 345-th BG. received the white Indian head in circle on their tails. On the other hand the "Rough Raiders" (500-th BS.) moved to Nadzab in January 1944 and started flying missions from there in mid February. I do believe this photo is in fact from the first half of 1944.
Cheers!
