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

North American B-25 Mitchell, probably a B-25G. Only WWII aircraft to
mount a 75mm cannon in the nose.

I think you'll find that the Henschel Hs 129 B-3 carried a 75mm gun in
the nose, but not very successfully.

I will have to disagree here. Together with the PaK 37 equipped Stuka the
Hs 129 was a very succesful can-opener on the Russian front.

Just not successful enough...thank God...

That's like saying the B-52 was not succesful enough in Vietnam - you can
not sum up an aircraft like that . .

Thank goodness, that one never mated witha 262, even though it was ready
for it.
