dont overfil:
I flew in at Falcon Field in 2007 after a 10 year rebuild. It was fitted with a metal nose and a huge cannon for ground attack.
Interesting - but garbled. Based at Weary Warriors in KRFD, "Barbie III" was part of the 2002 Doolittle reunion. Photo at Doolittle Raider 60th Reunion Columbia South Carolina 2002

I was told it was the only H model made.
No, I think 1000 B-25H models were built. "Barbie III" was retained at Wright Field as a test vehicle, and is the only flyable H today.

BTW, my only B-25 ride was in this ship, 5/2002, just after the Columbia reunion. I had the forethought to bring earplugs!
