I seem to remember reading in one of my B-25 references (which I’ve lost somehow…) that some of the control surfaces on the B-25 were fabric. Were all the main surfaces (ailerons, elevators, and rudders) fabric? Thank you in advance!
Ill let you know tomorrow night...gonna see one tomorrow...lol. Seriously folks...I think they are all fabric. I have a bunch of pics of Tondalayo, a Collings Foundation bird, and Ill see if I can tell but you know how tough that may be. Ill make it a point tomorrow to check that out. Im sure an expert will chime in soon!

I realize a Hollywood B-25 is considered suspect.
Recalling and just now viewing the 1970 tv movie “Sole Survivor” :
the B-25 in the movie appears to be an early version ( upper gun turret location )
and had shredded fabric on all the control surfaces.
I would also suggest “Catch 22” among the B-25’s in that film are C/D’s
Fabric on all moveable control surfaces except the flaps and trim tabs (elevators rudders and ailerons trim tabs)
[dto:]
Yep.
Yup, all fabric
Damn, just went through and watched all 9 parts of sole survivor, good movie.
Made a big impression on me in 1970.
Still a good movie with my favorite star: a B-25[whstl]
I am sooo thankful for You Tube ![:D]
Hey everyone, thanks for the confirmation! Really appreciate it!
