I wonder if this is Mike Bougue's old B-23. His languished in N. California after he passed away. His had the red and white rudder
stripes, was used in the movie Tucker. Got a ride in that baby. Hap Arnold's staff A/C WWII, if it is. Don't remember the glass nose tho.

It is not. The pictured aircraft is 36-036. https://www.warbirdregistry.org/b23registry/b23-390036.html

Mike's plane N747M, s/n 39-033, c/n 2618 is still out in the civilian world.

A word of advice. NEVER buy an He-162 built on a Friday or a Monday, and ESPECIALLY not after a Monday holiday.

Especially if you think you're buying a Me-262.

Jimmy Stuart with members of the B-24 squadron he commanded. He instructed on B-17's and went to war in B-24's.

Note the Bulged Out cockpit side windows. These probably were added to help ASW aircraft but usually were hated by bomber crews, since it badly distorted their views of other aircraft in the formation.

That's so they get shot down only by the right sort of people.
