Hey Jack, welcome back.

A nice selection of shots there. Thanks :D

I love the A-20 one. Presumably a locally-applied camou?

Love the P-40!

I didn't know the rear seat in a Helldiver could face forward. Is there no gun on that crate?

Great photos. Thanks for posting them. That Helldiver engaged in a banking turn looks very impressive. That B-25 shot must have been taken around the time when they were experimenting with adding eight 50-cals in the nose section for extra straffing firepower. Great stuff indeed!

They have a swivel seat and the guns are under the turtle deck...

Jack,
As others have already said, welcome back, even if the photo of the B-25J is USAAF and not a PBJ, it STILL is a B-25.
