Nearly 10,000 B-25 medium bombers were built by North American Aircraft in defense of America during WWll. Models B through H were built under different contracts from the U.S. Government. Production plants were in Kansas City, Mo. and Inglewood, Ca. |
The subject of this model was built 12 March 1943 in Inglewood, Ca. One of 1625 C's built at that plant. The aircraft had 14 hours on the meter when Lt. Richard Spingler picked it up from the 334 bomb Group / 470th Squadron in Greenville, South Carolina. Lt. Spingler and his crew ferried the B-25 to the 321st Bomb Group / 447th squadron in North Africa where they went on to fly 53 successful missions. |

For ease of use and faster load time the project has been broken down into sections. Often photos will overlap more than one section. I will put the photo in only one section. Please look in adjoining sections for a complete overview. |

The Nose Art on this B-25 was painted by the aircrafts navigator. The navigator also made this drawing of the Nose Art on the B-25. Lt Col. Spingler (retired) allowed me to scan this drawing. It will be used to create the graphics for the finished model. |
A Guest Book is located on my Homepage. All comments are greatly appreciated! |
The likness of the Lady Luck B-25 was used by Budweiser in a television advertisement. Lt Col. Spingler (retired) and his remaining crew were given decorated leather flight jackets in appreciation. |
