Mgawa - the online resource Footnote.com has a free selection of US Army Air Force photos that includes B-25s in Europe - mostly in the Italian Theater.

By Europe do you mean Europe when only our Allied friend flew the 25s
Or are you including Italy and Africa?

Hate to count rivets but BT's paint scheme isn't exactly accurate either ... the OD was sprayed on the upper surfaces with MMF remaining on the rest - 44-29939 today has a grey underbelly. I still think she's fab regardless ...

Neat picture. Question about the paint scheme. Is that Olive drab paint on top of Bare Aluminum??
