The second B-25H built, 43-4106 spent WWII in the USA doing various test programs. Sold surplus in 1947, I have found conflicting information on it's history post-war so far, but it did get a B-25J glass nose installed. A 10 year restoration began in 1981 that restored the unique B-25H cannon nose and it was painted as 43-4380 "Barbie III" flown by Flying Tigers veteran Lt. Col R.T. Smith in Burma.
