This is TB-25N USAAF s/n 44-30635 marked as B-25B 40-2270, which was one of the aircraft used on the Doolittle raid on Japan in April 1942. 44-30635 was TOC with the USAAF on 7 February 1945, and converted to a TB-25N in 1954. SOC in August 1958 and put on display at Chanute AFB. When the base closed in 1992 the aircraft transferred to the Octave Chanute Museum. When the museum closed in 2015 the aircraft was transferred to the Southern Museum of Flight in Birmingham, AL. where it is on display.

With the sad closing of this great museum, many exhibits were either moved or scrapped. 'Whiskey Pete' was one of the lucky ones and is pictured here being boxed and and prepared for the journey to the Southern Museum of Flight in Birmingham, Alabama. This plane was originally built as a B-25J, TOC in February 1945, converted to a TB-25N in December 1954 (at Birmingham, presumably why the SMoF wanted it) and SOC in August 1958. It had been on display at Chanute since 1965.
