Hello here for your consideration is a group of Nose Art photos on B-29s at Saipan in 1944. The slides are not for sale. I’m an avid slide collector. I have been collecting for years. Ponderous Peg.

This particular a/c "The Paper Doll" is a B-25G from 70th BS., 42nd BG. She was apparently converted to G1-standard (G1 was the mod with more (6) nose guns, gun packs, tail gunner and eventually with 0.30 guns in the photographer's windows). Could be a G-12 though (G-12 has the non-staggered waist windows with 0.50 guns and a tail gunner position with a "hump").
There is another "Paper Doll": a B-25G-5 s/n 42-64833 from 48th BS. 41st BG modified to G-12 standard.
Another "Paper Doll" from the 12th BG. (a B-25H) has been already posted here.
The modern restored B-25J with the same name is a different a/c.
Re "The Paper Doll" the B-25G from 70th BS., 42nd BG. It was in G-12 configuration (with G1 mod), with serial 42-65154 (see the inflight image) and according to the data block (nose image) it was a G-13. Could someone tell me what the G-13 designation implied, as I have never seen any other reference to that.
