Photo Comment

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
