A real "hosenose" (as they named it in real life).
On the serious side: note that this is a modified PBJ-1D with waist guns and (what we don't see) a tail gunner position. The above a/c is from VMB 611 on board of USS 'Manila Bay" in 1944. Below 2 photos showing the same modifications:

The first photo shows a nice comparison between a modified and an unmodified PBJ (in the background). The latter has the radar in place of the ventral turret and the standard B-25/PBJ armament at that time. Both a/cs are camouflaged in the 2-tone scheme.

Cheers!

Checked seller's description on ebay:" Six ORIGINAL WWII photos, one of a USMC PBJ-1J with nose art "Stinky" at a base in SWPA ...."
3 mistakes just in the first half of the sentence:
1. It's not a USMC but a USAAF a/c
2. It's not a PBJ-1J but a B-25D (s/n 41-30143)
3. It's not in the SWPA but in the USA (Atlantic side)
I can't miss one of my favourite "Mitchell"- schemes; same photo was posted by Dana Bell - see post # 185.
Cheers!
