Very interesting. Those Devastators look pretty flimsy.

When I was a child during WWII I had a large tray with a Vickers Spitfire on it.
I used it for drawing and eating when I was sick,which was often.
I haven’t a clue where we got it.
Memories-—some good,some not so good.

That’s a B-25 attacking the IJN destroyer, probably a “J” model with up to 14 forward firing 50cal machine guns. The aircraft is from the Air Apaches bomb group.
About 6 pics down is nice head on shot of a B-26.
In the J there would be 8 50s in the nose, 2 package 50 cal guns on each side of the fuselage plus the two 50s in the top turret.
Merry Christmas
