Photo Comment

This B-25 was assembled in Kansas City in early 1945 but never saw military service. It was operated as a civilian transport for over 25 years and then left abandoned at Wilmington Airport, Delaware. The aircraft was beautifully restored by the CWHM to wear the markings of 'Hot Gen', a B-25J of RAF No. 98 Squadron that fought over North West Europe during 1944-45.
