| A screen shot with XB-HEY in the background of one scene with Martin Balsam and Jon Voight. Note here also the small overwing windows. The tail code is most likely 6F, though it also could be 6R. This scene was shot before the aircraft crash scene. (via Chris Brame) |
| This is the fate XB-HEY suffered during the filming of Catch-22. This scene was reportedly set up to only appear the B-25 was burning, but by the time it was filmed three or four times the bomber was pretty much destroyed. Note the modified tail gun compartment and compare it to the above photo. |
| A close examination of this photo suggests the B-25 wreckage is 45-8843 after the crash scene was shot. The forward fuselage was burnt out but other fuselage window modifications match that of XB-HEY. Note the 6F tail code that probably matches the code in the scene above with Voight and Balsam. The Stinson L-5 is N64669, which appears in a scene flown by Frank Tallman in which the low-buzzing Stinson kills a pilot standing on a swimming platform. |
