This photograph shows a former military North American B-25 Mitchell bomber in its post-war civilian life, registered N1203 and painted with promotional lettering for a film-industry client, '20th Century-Fox Special.' Many surplus B-25s were purchased inexpensively after World War II and adapted for civilian roles including executive transport, aerial photography, and film production support. This example retains the type's distinctive twin-tail silhouette and glazed nose while displaying a colorful civilian paint scheme in place of its original military markings. Project: 218470
