Difference between the B-24 and B-25 is larger bomb loads, the '24' has 2 more engines and its a larger plane. What confuses people are the twin tails but really the planes are totally different.

B-17G BALL TURRET-COLLINGS FOUNDATIONby twinbeechdotcom88,799 views
Your actually looking at the cargo version of the B24. The C 82. It's solid nose was replaced years ago with the "greenhouse." And the paint job was done a few years back. It was in desert pink for years.

Actually the aircraft you are looking at was originally built as a B-24 complete with guns, bomb bays and a Sperry bombsight. She was converted to one of the very first transport B-24's as a test ship at Consolidated. Today she still has her upper gun ring and the tracks for the bomb bay doors. Gary Austin has done a great job of bringing her back toward what she once was.

For some awesome reading about her history, and the documentation to prove it and a running account of her transformation back toward a bomber check out the thread about it on the warbird information exchange-forum-hangar. Its right on top as a sticky under the name diamond lil.
Everyone owes a great debt of gratitude to Gary Austin and his awesome volunteer crew at the CAF HQ in Midland, Texas.
Well done guys!

"Sperry bombsight" it was the norton bombsight. sperry made the ball turret

This aircraft had a Sperry O-1 bomb sight installed in her when she was manufactured. I have seen the documentation myself. Sperry did make bomb sights for both the US and our allies. The Sperry S-1 sight (the offspringto the O-1) was, according to bombardiers and instructors at the time, just as good as the Norden M series sight. Norden won out as the standard bombsight for the duration of the war.'

Sperry made a lot more than ball turrets. They made top turrets, gun sights auto pilots, instruments and tons more. Sperry was a major contributor to the war effort.
