Didn't the J have a solid nose?

They came in both solid or glass noses. The noses are interchangeable.

OK, I stand corrected as to when new but the noses are interchangeable. The Devil Dog N9643C was a J model when new but had a solid nose when the CAF aquired it.

Nope. The G and H models had the solid nose. The J had the bombardier nose.

Cheers!

A 'J' subtype had the 8 gun nose!

Must be 44-30243 indeed. The Pendleton site shows the same Doolittle Raiders monument, check www.pendletonairmuseum.org

Does that thing have PBY wheels? Also not sure of the angle there but it looks like it may have some different propeller blades than usual.

Jack, nice old school pic of "Tootsie" in her former life as "The Bat Mobile." I love the gunship Mitchells.

[Matt Gunsch]

it looks like the props are feathered, but not all the blades are at the same angle.

Wrongo Dean.

I'm used to it.

Dean the incorrect

That thing could have the wheels off the batmobile
It was a real mess when they got it. The trucker delivering
it hit a highway overpass with it
For their lack of resourses and experience the Guard guys did
a very good job. Although, they know zippo about proper prop pitch
BTW they're known has the Dustdevils and lost a CH-47 and crew in Afganistan

[Fairfax Ghost]

Both noses were installed at the factory here in KC, KS .


and yes it looks like those are PBY wheels . and the blades on the props do not look like thay are the wright length for a b-25 but hard to tell with them in feather

[Coert Munk]

B-25 and PBY have the same size of tyres
