My current information for this aircraft is as follows:

Serial #: 40-2347
Construction #: 62-3016
Civil Registry: None
Model(s): B-25B Mitchell
Name: None
Status: Stored
Last Info: 2001
-----------------------------------
History:
Delivered to U.S.A.A.F as 40-2347, 19??.
Ed Maloney/The Air Museum, Ontario, CA, 1966-1967.
- Fuselage recovered from MGM studio, circa 1966.
- Fuselage displayed in Ontario, CA as "T-702/Lemon Queen", 1967.

The only information I can find on this aircraft is that the front and rear fuselage is stored in Ocotillo Wells. Does anybody know if this is still the case?

I can confirm that it was still in storage with Aero Trader as recently as last May. As you state, it is only the forward/rear fuselage. Would be a very cool, but also quite an ambitious project to take on/restore to flight. It was mentioned to us that with all of the resources available it could be restored to exactly the same specifications/modifications as one of the Doolittle Raid aircraft (it is only three serial numbers away from the one Jimmy Doolittle flew).
