PBJ-1D (B-25) - "BLACK 310" of VMB-433

War In the Pacific

MODIFIED CASTING!

In response to the Marine Corps need for a medium bomber for night heckling, close air support, and low level bombing and strafing, they started receiving B-25 Mitchell bombers from the Army.They were immediately designated as PBJ’s, using the Navy aircraft designation system. VMB-413 was the first commissioned squadron of Marine Air Group 61 to use these and was quickly followed by the remaining “400” squadrons (VMB 423, 433, 443) and the “600” squadrons (VMB 611, 612, 613, 614). The 400 squadrons operated first from Sterling Island and later from Green and Emirau.
