B-25 My Buck

This B-25 My Buck image was captured before it’s flight as part of 20 B-25s flying to the Air Force Museum for the 70th Doolittle Raider Reunion in April 2012.  “My Buck” was the B-25 bomber reportedly flown on 67 combat missions during WWII.  On the opposite side of this B-25’s nose is painted “Executive Sweet”, its actual name.  The “My Buck” noseart was painted as a memorial to Link Piazzo and his late wife Helen, who is the lovely lady in the painting.  My Buck was Link’s nickname for Helen.  For a first hand account of B-25 activities at the 70th Doolittle Raider reunion: B-25s at the 70th Doolittle Raiders Reunion.
