WW II USAAF Army Aircraft – MAIN ACCEPTANCE DATA PLATE – B-25 J Mitchell – RARE!

 You are bidding on an EXTREMELY RARE and 100% original WW2 US Army Boeing B-25 J “Mitchell” Main Acceptance Data Plate, Serial Number 44-30xxx!  This tag was one of the main identifying plates located on the fuselage.

Follow-on production at Kansas City, the B-25J could be called a cross between the B-25D and the B-25H. It had a transparent nose, but many of the delivered aircraft were modified to have a strafer nose (J2). Most of its 14–18 machine guns were forward-facing for strafing missions, including the two guns of the forward-located dorsal turret. The RAF received 316 aircraft, which were known as the Mitchell III. The J series was the last factory series production of the B-25 (number made: 4,318).
 

Made of aluminum, this is an EXTREMELY RARE piece.  Delivered in November 1944, it features 95% original paint, and all markings are very legible.  It indicates:

U.S. ARMY
