I just found this interesting set of photographs from a 475th FG website (of all the things).

Its some pix of Japanese shipping at Rabaul during the famous attack on Nov 2 1943.

Its proof that the B25's could go where the other's couldnt.

I dont want to violate any copyright restrictions, so here is the website. Click the links on the right side, to see these pix. Its unbelievable the details in the photo's.

I think that the Beaufighter was the best.
Not only was it a fighter/night fighter but it was used in anti shipping roles unlike the B-25 which was a bomber/anti shipping designed to take damge and carry heavy objects e.g torpedoes or big guns.
