Hello,
I am flying and maintaining a B-25J in Stockton, CA that was delivered to the 12th Air Force in September 1944. Just exactly what this particular B-25 did with the 12 AF is a mystery. Bernie Wienhart (319th BG 440sq) recently told me that the 319th received about 100 new B-25J's to replace their Martin B-26's in November 1944. It might be possible that our B-25 was in that group. I was wondering if any of you might have a photo showing our B-25. The number 428938 would have been painted across the tail and 44-28938 would show up on the data block stenciled on the left side of the fuselage under the turret. Your help in tracking down the history of this surviving war veteran would be most appreciated. I know that someone out there must have some little bit of information about this great old aircraft.
Thank you in advance for your help,
