Good to read. Thanks for posting.

 

I got a good look at a B-25J a couple of weeks ago at the Pima Air & Space Museum:

The planes are really interesting to see up close. Those old radials sound impressive by themselves. I can't really imagine what it would have been like to hear a whole squadron take off or fly by.
