The private plane of Porfirio Rubirosa, a converted North American B-25 Mitchell, at Cannes Airport in 1954. North American B-25 Mitchell B-25H-1NA 43-4432 (N10V). See https://bit.ly/2XS08rs. Was as "Berlin Express" in the 1970 movie Catch-22. Today at Eagle Hangar, EAA Aviation Museum, Oshkosh.

Porfirio Rubirosa's private plane, a converted North American B-25 Mitchell, rests on the wet tarmac of Cannes Airport in 1954. Seen from a low, head-on perspective, the twin-engine aircraft features a polished metallic body with dark, curved stripes adorning its rounded nose. Its two-bladed propellers and tricycle landing gear are visible on the dark, reflective pavement under an overcast sky.
