GermansRGeniunes, Are you shure the B-25G had that cannon? I am pritty shure it is only the H and that experiment was found poorly profitable. The hardnose with 8 or 10 .5 inch guns were much better and you get the co-pilot back.
Lanc-interested in what? 
Seaplanes Are so nice

MP-Willow, the B-25G was the first version of the B-25 to be equipped with a 75mm cannon with 21rpg. Backing this weapon up were 2 .50cals with 400rpg. The later B-25H had the 75mm cannon, plus 4 .50cals in the nose and 4 more bolted on to the fuselage sides, all with 400rpg.

Opps thanks Lighening. It was still that low 21 rds and low rate of fire that make me feel unesed about that cannon. B)

"When you go home tomorrow, don't expect anyone to know what you have been through. Even if they did know, most people probably wouldn't care anyway. Some of you may get the medals you deserve, many more of you will not. But remember this, all of you are now members of the front-line club, and that is the most exclusive club in the world." - Lt. Col. Matthew Maer CO 1st Battalion, the Princess of Wale's Royal Regiment. Camp Abu Naji, Oct. 2004
To those in that club.

Lanc, although Kommando Notwony didn't fly in the Pacific, the Japs had an Me-262 of their own.
The Kikka!
Mainly the same, but the wings were straight.

Whatcha reckon Lanc, a Mk.XVIII Mossie with the Molins cannon and rockets ?...More versatile than a B-25, eh?...
-
Senior Member
but it's proven that that mossie was the second most versatile aircraft of the war, and the Ju88 was the most versatile, not the B-25, so yes, i do think the mossie was more versatile than the B-25.........................

But not the 57mm cannon
A B-25 did very well for its self thanks. So why not be a glider pilot!
A bf 109 over the Battle of France, then I would not get shot down that much
