B-25J 'The Alice L.'

This is a great statement about the March, 1944 eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed 88 planes from the 340th Bombardment Group.

B-25J 'Sky Demon.'

Here's another photo of B-25J Sky Demon from the 487th Bombardment Squadron, 340th Bombardment Group. The guy with the clipboard is pilot David Feltus from Memphis, TN. His grandaughter, Pamela Feltus, sent me this great picture. David Feltus co-piloted the B-17 Memphis Belle when it returned to Memphis for the last time, crewed by a group of Memphis veterans.

B-25J 'Quanto Costa.'

These great photographs were kindly provided by Tracy Taylor whose father, 2nd Lt. J. E. Taylor, was a bombardier in the 340th Bombardment Group, primarily with the 487th Bombardment Squadron from February 12th through June 22nd, 1945, Alesani, Corsica and Rimini, Italy.
