An older gent who told us he instructed in B25s way back when said you could always tell a B25 that had been rolled (badly) as the fuselage was deformed and the centersection was wrinkled. Ugh. It could be true, as the planes are rated for 2.8G...considering the assymetric G applied in a badly done roll, this could be the results. Does the other side have same or similar damage?
THREAD DRIFT BELOW - WARNING!
I gotta add - some of the folks who come up & start talking at airshows are real gems. Their stories will raise the hair on your neck. I met a Filipino fella at the OK airshow last year - he was interned by the Japanese in 1942 when he was 10, and his duties in the camp were basically FAC duties for the Marine PBJs by arranging fairly large whitewashed stones in an open area near the camp: the stones denoted direction and distance of nearby Japanese targets, but he didn't know it until after the war when a B25 pilot visited & told him what he had done. He touched our airplane like it was a friends' gravestone...
He had never seen one of the Blue planes up close before. Amazing stuff indeed.
Carry on!
