North American B-25H-5-NA Mitchell    43-4550

                              

                                 Some of these North American images are so poor I wonder why I am bothering to put them out
                                 here.  This came from a "paper photograph".   It does, however, illustrate one of the 1,000 B-25Hs
                                 built.   This version was basically a B-25G with the dorsal turret moved to a forward position.  As
                                 can be seen, this variant did not have the glazed bombardier nose.  In lieu, it packed four .50 mm
                                 machine guns and a 75mm cannon under, and slightly to the port of this battery.   Most B-25Hs
                                 served in the Pacific theater.
