Looking to find other sepcial intrest groups for B-25's to learn what I can about our TB-25N. We are in the planning stages of a "spruce up" and would like to hang out with others of similar intrest. (Besides here of course) Ideas?

Chanutes museum can't give you any more info? Baughers list only says it was displayed @ Chanute as a bogus Doolittle Raider, you might try Maxwell AFB records for the airplanes service cards which would tell you where it went after leaving the nest as a J-25/27 NC, that late on in production I'll bet it either kicked around stateside or went right into storage. Then pulled out post war for conversion to TB status.

Go here http://aerovintage.com/b25.htm and order a copy of B-25 Mitchell In Civil Service, by Scott A. Thompson.

Well, after referencing my own copy - never mind. Didn't realize that one never saw the civilian market.

Didn't state my intent clearly enough. We have much of the historical data at the museum. What I'm looking for is sources for advise and /or parts. We have parts and E&M manuals but does anyone have engineering drawing set available?

For advice the forum could provide you plenty advice, of course from other B25 operators too. Same story for parts. Aerotrader at Chino is one of the parts places to be.
Are there any specific parts that you need?

Hi

What do you want to know on the 25N? Both Perry R and myself have many details. Not to mention Aero Trader...
Just send a pm.

Am I wrong in thinking Tom Reilly must have engineering drawings for the B-25?
