This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Great stuff, thanks!
Did 'Dolly' carry the same nose art on the port side while she still had the stock nose? If so, any photos?

What is up with that nose? Is she a camera ship now?

"Dolly" is the old Tallmantz Camera ship. I believe the above photos were taken a while ago, perhaps at the time she was shooting "Memphis Belle".
After the film the bombadiers nose was re-installed and I believe she's now back in the US.

Man I love the B-25!!! Good to see some familiar pics........ As for the question that was posted about "Dolly". The art work was only painted on the one side. Before it went overseas for the filming of "Memphis Belle", she was here in VT where it was painted by my uncle while he worked for Dean Martin of Warplanes Inc. for Aces High Unlimited, the owner being a friend of Dean's. I remember going there when it was still in the old talmantz markings and going through the interior of the B-25, playing in the gunner positions.
On another note the LSFM B-25 used to be "pacific Princess" owned by Dean Martin before he started Warplanes Inc.
I remember going to the hangar at a small state owned airport where they were getting her ready to take to the air again. She flew here for a few years.......also being one of the few to participate in a anniversary flt of the Doolittle raiders over washington DC and down Pennsylvania Ave.......or also what came to be known as "Thirty seconds over Washington"
