I remember this one well as the 'Aces High' camera ship in the UK in the 1980s, including 'Memphis Belle' (at least part of it, until it went sick)

I remember when it was here in VT. My uncle painted the OD paint job on it before it went over the pond for the Memphis Belle filming.

Somewhere I have a pic of the nose are that it carried. It was called "Dolly"

I remember John Lister from the Fresno B-25 reunion. He was a off-the-wall sort of character. He had a company selling aircraft parts or something of the like.
