My introduction to the N3N was in the pages of Air Classics many years ago. I hope the author of the article got paid.

I love stumbling on all of these aircraft I never knew about. You gentlemen have opened my horizons to many other aircraft.

Three photos of Dave Tallichet's N3N-3 at Chino in 72. That one piece top wing is a b to rebag and to install.

Two B-25 from the movie "Catch-22" in the background. Both in "M&M Enterprises (Milo Minderbinder's syndicate)"-scheme. The one we see doesn't have a turret anymore and has Bendix-Stromberg carburetors (the Hayes post-war modification). Below one of the Talmantz B-25 in the same scheme. If you forget the MM-logo, it looks a bit like the Atlantic Search scheme (ASW).
And this is a still from the movie showing the MM-fleet during a parade (shortly before the end of the movie - one can see Yossarian in white, running):
4 a/c with the MM-markings are visible, the one on the left (just nose) is the same. I can't remember at the moment how many planes have been fully repainted in this grey scheme and were they used in the movie.
Below is the a/c used as "gen. Dreedle's plane", now in the MM-scheme but in sand, not grey.
Note: Same a/c was camouflaged as 6N "Berlin Express" in the movie and is the only modification with a side door. We spoke about this particular a/c in a different thread - it's still flying in the 6N-scheme with the EAA.
Cheers!
P.S. If you check the last link above you'll find a short video with "Berlin Express" in flight and see how the a/c does not have a full height bomb bay, but seats for passengers there. Just a reminder: this particular B-25H(modified) s/n 43-4432 was an executive transport long before "Catch-22". Used by Porfirio Rubirosa, this a/c is usually linked to Barbara Hutton. They were married for 53 days only (Dec. 1954-Febr.1955), but apparently in the settlement after their divorce, HE got the B-25!!!
