12th BG, 82nd BS Signature B-25 - 03/10/2008 12:53:46 PM

I found several photo's from my father’s collection with a B-25 and signatures all over it. I’m trying to find out the significance of it or if you recognizes someone in the picture. Serial number 43-5104. The photo below looks like some type of promo shot next the b-25. My father is on left kneeling wearing the Earthquakers jacket. I have photo’s showing the plane doing a bombing run, with USO girls posing with it, and another inflight picture. Dad was in the 82nd BS (M). Any information would be appreciated and I can post more pic's of the B-25.

Mike,

Thank you so much. My dad was a Photo Bal Technician 945, assigned to the 82nd. I have the originals that he must have processed. He arrived in India on 12/4/44. Thanks for the help. Here's another pic of Bones at work. Regards, rob
