Might as well toss in Pacific Princess as she looked in 1955 in the movie 24 Hour Alert:



Otherwise known as "Jack Webb meets the Air Force". :)
It reminded me of a cross between Steve Canyon and Dragnet.

"Shangrila Lil".

Anyone got any pictures of her?


I'm surprised that no one else chimed in on this reference. This was from the short lived TV Show "Salvage One" where Andy Griffith plays a junkyard owner. I don't remember the gist of the series, but I know in one episode, he builds his own rocket which takes him into orbit. In another episode, they find his B-25, which was part of the Tokyo Raid, still intact in China, so he goes to fly it out. Problem is that it is guarded by a Japanese soldier who is still following his orders to the letter to guard the plane. There were two B-25s in the episode...the aforementioned Shangri-La Lil, and a second one that Andy Griffith practiced takeoffs with. Anyone know which two these were?

Andy Griffith had a history with B-25s, as his first movie "No Time For Sergeants", they are flying in a B-25

Ok here she is... Shangrala Lil, taken after the TV show, enroute to Long Beach to film 1941, where the nose art was painted out. Today known as Photo Fanny.
