And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

North American B-25 Mitchell, photo by Frank C Miller, California around 1944.
Looks like the PBJ-1H (Navy) version of the B-25H with the 75mm and a bunch of 50s raining hate in every pass.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's a PBJ.
DeleteNeeds more guns.
ReplyDeleteAnd a 75 mm cannon as well.
ReplyDeleteThe Mitchell was the original gunship. Unapproved field mods in PNG got the ball rolling.
ReplyDeleteBAMF.
ReplyDelete8 forward firing 50 caliber machine guns and a 75mm cannon, makes a bad day for somebody.
ReplyDeleteTwo problems: the cannon is hand-loaded, and it fills the cockpit with smoke when fired.
