I remember this one well as the 'Aces High' camera ship in the UK in the 1980s, including 'Memphis Belle' (at least part of it, until it went sick)

My dad flew that B-25 quite a bit towards the end of the summer.

44-30823 previously "Top Secret" when Lister owned it is now "Pacific Prowler" owned by John Terry in OK or TX I'm not sure.

What does the star stand for?

The star is displayed when the general is on board.

I remember when it was here in VT. My uncle painted the OD paint job on it before it went over the pond for the Memphis Belle filming.

Somewhere I have a pic of the nose are that it carried. It was called "Dolly"

I remember John Lister from the Fresno B-25 reunion. He was a off-the-wall sort of character. He had a company selling aircraft parts or something of the like.
