I've seen this video too a long time ago, I don't recall this B-25 blowing up, but there was sure a lot of dust and sand. I think...now I said I think, that this was a 9th AF B-25 seems that I was looking at a 9th AF film I got from somewhere, may still have it.....somewhere

I forwarded this to General William W. Wilcox who was the CO of the 12th. I'm sure he'll enjoy it!

Makes you realize that even after the combat was over, you still had to get home.
