Our PBJ was assigned to this location in 1945.

sorry, I had to, that's the first thing I thought when I read "PBJ"

I am totally unfamiliar with the PBJ airplane; could you let me know what one is and what one looks like?

Cheers,

Just a tiny hint. You see all those websites plastered all over my thread? Maybe just maybe you will find your answer there. Crunchie or plane (pun intended)?

aha...
So it is a varient of the B-25. What makes it a PBJ versus a B-25? I assume that the P is for Patrol, the B is for Bomber, and the J is the designator for the manufacturer? Then should I also assume that it's the Navy version of the type?

Ding! Ding! Ding! A Winner! :P

I always liked the PBJ with the Radar nose in overall non-spec.
