@newsread4.news.pas.earthlink.net:

I have just recently discover these pictures of my great uncle. I believe
the aircraft to be a b-17 or a b-24. I don't have a lot of experience
identifying planes of this era. any help would be appreciated



It is a B-25, the H model.

Fitted with 75 mm Cannon in nose for close
ground attack work.

I guess there were many aircraft with the same "nose art" names.
I thought it was a B-25 myself but all I could find on the web was this:

42-52191 LILLIE BELLE B-24H-10-FO N Ditched in North Sea 3/6/1944. One
survivor: Lt. Gerald J. Cyr


But on this aircraft the name is spelled differently. Lillie Bell.
Oh well, I tried but am normally wrong.
