Bought this photo today of a bomber crew celebrating the return of their 50th mission. Is there any way to identify the aircraft based o this photo. The only part of the name of the plane in view is "Hells."

 

Thanks for looking,

Jacob

Not sure about the aircrafts name but it looks like a B-25.

Small crew and that hatch on the right.

 

I would agree. I suspect this is a B-25 crew from one of the groups that flew with the 57th Bomb Wing, 12th Air Force in the MTO.

Aircraft is a B-25. Notice the steps leading to the bomb bay.

 

Also suspect the photo is late 1944, early 1945 because the crews are wearing OD B-15 flight jackets.
