For all of those with an aviator spirit! This Barnstormers gift box is inspired by the
B-25C-1 Dirty Dora. In September 1942, Dirty Dora was assigned to the 5th Air Force, 38th Bombardment Group, 405th Bombardment Squadron.
In July 1943, it was convoyed to RAAF Garbutt Field in Australia to be modified at the 4th Air Depot into a terrifying C version "Straffer," the most heavily armed of the B-25s, described by the U.S. Army Air Forces as being "preferred over all other similar aircraft because of armament, speed, altitude, performance, bombing platform stability, visibility and night flight, and short field characteristics."
Then, Dirty Dora returned to New Guinea and was assigned to the 345th Bombardment Group, 499th Bombardment Squadron, where it returned to 1st Lieutenant Victor Tatelman and crew chief Sergeant Perry W. Scot and officially received that terrifying Dirty Dora livery.
