Definitely B-25. Has lots of WWII placards and is very cool that it was some kind of simulator or procedure trainer piece. If I had the spare funds i'd buy it.

Maybe it was built as a simulator originally? The "Radio Call" plate has no number.
(Just checked - posting deleted. Did you get it, David?)

Nope, it wasn't me I would have liked to but I'm not sure what I would have done with.

Long time reader here. Looks like I have a new project on my hands. I was able to secure this gem from the owner and although it is missing some of the original instruments it is fairly complete. He had found replacements but he (and I) wasn't sure if they were specific to the panel. Don't know yet if it can be made operational again but I plan to do some research and see what my options are. Very interesting piece of aviation history.
