| B-25 weapons thread Sorry guys some where while merging the thread I accidently deleted or lost the data in the transfer. I am currently rebuilding the info on it. Luckly I know what most of the stuff is since most of it I posted. Again I apology's for those that did post here for the lost link. Sorry about that.  As a bonus I plan on adding a bunch of more things not seen to the link since this is what I am currently researching on. Also as a bonus this will also remove all the duplicate postings of the B-25 75mm cannon posting of which we had 3 that I new of. 2nd pictures is from the magazine Warbird Digest, issue 7 2006 by Lou Fulgaro from the inside of Barbie III. Bottom picture is with the 75mm cannon removed and a pair of 50 cal machine guns added.

The eighth and last B-25 was the NAA Model NA-108 produced as the B-25J all of which were built at the Kansas City plant. The B-25Js, or NAA Model NA-108s, were essentially B-25Hs with (1) a greenhouse nose with one fixed and one flexible 50 caliber (12.7 mm) machine gun instead of a solid nose, (2) provisions for a co-pilot and a bombardier, (3) two 50 caliber (12.7 mm) machine guns in blister packs on both sides of the forward fuselage, and (4) omission of the cannon and four 50 caliber (12.7 mm) machine guns in the nose. This model could also carry three 1,000 pound (453.6 kg) bombs instead of two; two 1,600 pounds (725.7 kg) armor piercing bombs; and provision for six 325 pound (147.4 kg) depth charges on wing racks. A total of 4,318 B-25Js were built, in addition to 72 incomplete airframes, the most of any version. These consisted of 555 B-25J-1-NCs, 320 B-25J-5-NCs, 410 B-25J-10-NCs, 400 B-25J-15-NCs, 800 B-25-20-NCs, 1,000 B-25J-25-NCs, 800 B-25J-30-NCs, and 95 B-25J-25-NCs. Major changes in the various blocks included: This article came from here. North American PBJ Mitchell
