This B-25J was delivered in 1944 as N5-233 (USAAF serial 44-29022) to the Netherlands East Indies Air Force at Batchelor airfield, near Darwin, Australia, from where it operated over Indonesia during Japanese occupation. After VJ Day, the aircraft moved to Palembang, Sumatra. It was later reserialled M-433 and is seen here carrying 18 Sqn markings which indicates that this picture was taken in 1949. By the end of that year, Indonesia became independent and the aircraft was transferred to the Indonesian Air Force, retaining its serial. Photo Harm van Weerden (pilot 18Sqn 1949)
