This is a photograph from 1942? The one guy is wearing a pocket protector and I thought they weren't invented until the late 40s. Also the quality and color of the photograph seems to be from a later era. James 01:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I had that same reaction. It looks like such a modern image. Algr 04:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Here is the original low-res pic from the U.S. gov archive [1]. The featured pic used the high-res 20mb tiff file and some touching up. Not sure about the pocket protectors. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 06:41, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh...I'm not sure that I see a pocket protector. More like a bulgy breast pocket. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 08:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

According to [2] the last B-25 was delivered Aug 1945, and the plant closed the day after the war ended. Also, the 48-star flag was in use from 1912 to 1959. Agreed though, it does look more recent. Neat picture. aechols 07:58, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Why are they painted yellow all over? Even the ones with insignia.

Zinc Chromate primer?
