Painted to represent B-25H 43-4381 "Dog Daize" of the 82nd BS, 12th BG operating in Indochina in 1943/44, this is really 43-4999. After storage and post-war disposal, it was sold on to the Dominican Air Force with s/n 2502, returning to the US as N3970C in 1952. It became derelict at West Trenton-Mercer County Airport, NJ after another Latin American sale fell through and was eventually seized by the airport authorities for non-payment of fees. In 1970 it was donated to the Bradly Air Museum and survived damage in the 1979 tornado, undergoing restoration from 1986 to 1993

Experimental Aircraft Association owned B-25 (originally 43-4432) touches down at AirVenture Oshkosh 2022. The aircraft is painted in the scheme it wore for the 1970 movie "Catch 22".

This B-25 was delivered to the USAAF in June 1944 but immediately placed into storage in Texas and then Missouri. The plane was acquired by the Dominican Air Force as FAD 2502 in 1948 but little is known of its service there. It returned to the United States through a disposal sale with the Dominican government and assigned the registration N3970C. Nothing went through and the plane fell into disrepair until it was donated to NEAM in 1960. It was severely damaged when a tornado struck the museum in October 1979 but has since been beautifully restored.

Miss Temperance set a new trans-Tasman Sea record flying from Sydney airport to Whenuapai airport, Auckland, in four hours 33 minutes aided by a 60kt tailwind. To put it in perspective the scheduled flight time in 2022 is three hours. The Joint Airways Communication System Pacific (JACSPAC) was a US Army-Navy unit set up during World War II to provide flight services to both.

This was the 2nd B-25H built and was the prototype cannon-nose version. 23 Aug '43: TOS USAAF as 43-4106. Assigned to various units for testing. 1/46: RFC, Walnut Ridge, AR. 4/71: Richard Lambert, Plainfield, IL; was ferried to his grass strip. 8/81: Weary Warriors Squadron, New Lenox, IL; spent two months preparing the plane for ferrying to Springfield for restoration. Both flight attempts had engine failures so they continued the flight to Springfield on one engine. A few years later it was trucked to Rockford, IL for continuing restoration, completed in 1992. 10/15: Cavanaugh Air.
