| Hello if you look real close at the second photo,there is the title 98th SeeBees painted below art work, have you tried googling this unit? there is also a site you can try b25.net or iluznst@yahoo.com Good luck and let me know if you get an ID ! WeBeEmblems@aol.com Also note in the photo that has a B-25 in background with stripe on tails,I think this is one of the specific Group's markings. |

| At the base of my post is a link to the cartoonist who painted the plane that is about all I can find out on him other that he did paint a lot of nose art during the war. Photos from Tarawa |

  | I came across it was on Morotai in 1945. Possibly the 13th AF Looking at the B-25 Groups based on the island the 38th & 42nd Bomber Groups pops up.

| As an aside, that is perhaps the best nose art that I've seen. Even that not on the nose. |
