It is a single-engine, low-wing plane, carrying a crew of two men and having six machine guns of varying calibers

Production. Airplane manufacture, general. On North American's "Sunshine" assembly line at Inglewood, California, a B-25 bomber is prepared for painting. Paper is taped to those areas to be painted.
