1958 Photo of Mantz B-25H N1203

Too good not to let everyone see. John Voss just sent me this photo of N1203 taken at Orange County in 1958 on the Paul Mantz Air Services ramp:



So I added it to my Tallmantz pages and also added it to B-25 News where a bigger version can be seen.

Great photo, even besides the airplane.

Where is that B-25 now?

Last reported in Colombia in the 1970s....not seen since. Probably burnt out at the end of some runway somewhere, or so the rumor goes. See also this page on my Tallmantz site for the story:

Nice picture Scott!

Great picture, Scott. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing Paul's pet name for the B-25, "The Smasher," painted on the #1 engine cowl.

For everyone, I posted the following captures on Scott's site about a year ago. Here's N1203 four years earlier than the picture above from the 1954 sci-fi thriller, THEM!
