Get a load of this !!

These are B-25's being built at the actual plant, during the height of WW-II.

Thought it was rather unique and rare,,,

right in the midwest part of the US,,,,

Kansas City, Kansas

known then and now as the Fairfax District

the Plant is long gone, tho a few runways still actual excist, most in weeds and shipping containers sit there now.
 
right now, the General Motors Fairfax Plant sits there on that property , they churn out Chevrolet Malibu's and some other car out of that plant now.

but back in the day, B-25's were being built , as you can see,, this photo was taken in like 1941 or 1942,, somewhere in that time frame,,,

Thought ya'll find it intersting maybe ??

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.
