Samenvatting
A never before published overview of the various paintings of the B-25s, which have flown in U.S. units all over the world. Planes were mostly painted in camouflage colours and often completed with operational or personal markings. Specialy nose art was very popular showing stars from Hollywood, cartoon characters and personal markings. World War II was to become the golden age of airplane nose art and showed many masterpieces By Wim Nijenhuis.
The Second World War was to become the golden age of airplane nose art and showed many masterpieces. But also later in the war and after the war, the shiny aluminium B-25s with their markings were masterpieces to see. A lot has been published about airplane nose art, but not entirely focused on the B-25. This book will fill this gap and it is not just about nose art, but it also focuses on other paintings and their background thoughts. In this book, the bombardment groups and squadrons are described briefly and it includes just about 900 illustrations.
