However that's not the B-25 Mitchell but the A 20 Havoc. See the top opened cockpit hood. IMHO that's the B or C variant judging by the long air intake on the top of the engine cowling, the front antenna mast and the glazed nose.

Wojtek, the stepped nose glazing is characteristic for the A-20B. same for DB-7A.
The crest (wouldn't call it "noseart") is the one of 27th BG (L). I believe this particular a/c is unarmed and belongs to the staff. Could be the CO's-plane when the group became a fighter-bomber unit.
 
Ah .. sorry didn't grap. Yes the shape of the air intakes was there too. So the DB-7A also could be. Anyway, not the B-25.
And I agree on the kind of the emblem there. Not the nose art but the crest rather.

Found a great nose art but not on ebay!
Don't know where else to put it. It's kind of a mystery (to me):

IMHO it is an A-20 Havoc (check the elliptical gun cover in the upper left corner). The name could be "Southern...something II" (I've seen "Southern Belle" for example). I try to understand if this is another copy of the favourite Vargas' pin-up girls or not. Can't say for sure.
Does anybody recognize this a/c?
 
Little more info here in link plus another photo of the aircraft.

A-20 Havoc nose art Southern XY II - any info?

Hi everybody, I found this nude girl nose art on Flicker by chance (well I searched for another nose art for the A-20G): http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8092055794/ Does anybody have any info about this airplane? I have never seen this before and cannot find any other info anywhere. Ch...

Thank you, Paul! I see people asked the same question more than 10 years ago. At least the BG is known.
The second photo shows the nose art more realistically - the one I posted above is distorted by the perspective.
BTW here is the regimental history of the "Sky lancers" for free download - many period photos and some stories. The above a/c is not there though.
