Anyone have an ID on a B-25 OBLITERATORS EXCUSE PLEASE believed to be a Charlie model. Known to be in China during World War Two.

There is another photo showing the right side of the nose of "Obliterators Excuse Please!" with the crew standing by it. The caption reads the pilot was 1st Lt William N. Fitzhugh.

In another search I saw just the short descripter of a PDF that mentions a B-25, 41-12506, and "Obliterators Excuse Please". The file would not open for me to read, so the words may not be tied together at all. Just a long shot.
It looks like the PDF was an interview with Ralph P. Holding.

Hope it helps. Good luck.
