What a lovely plane and such a proud history behind it. Thank you for the information. I would like to go back to Texas, just to see the rest of that museum. I love anything military. There is a superb museum in Bovington in Hampshire UK, I have visited twice, but that is mainly to exhibit armoured vehicles and heavy tanks. Great capture Richard. Steve :o)

The B-25 is one of the coolest looking planes of WWII. Great shot and history lesson.

Hedy Lamarr invented and patented a torpedo guidance device, based on the player piano, and the precursor of later computer punch cards, if I recall correctly.
