B-25 strafer noses


Recommended Posts

Most if not all of the B-25s that were converted to strafers had paint on some or all of the clear nose panels. I'm wondering what might have been painted on Nasty Nancy on the Zotz sheet. I'm going to wander the 'net and see what I can find but I thought I would ask here first.

I found the answer for Nasty Nancy. Clear panels were not painted over.

The orignal "Pappy Gunn" conversions did just paint over the glass work. When the strafer conversions proved successful, N.A. eventually put out a gun nose "kit" that was sent to the field as a bolt-on conversion. That was the eight-gun solid nose. Some of the B-25H's were switched over to th eight gun nose also.

Cheers, Terry
