Yeah, thinking about their lack of fame. Navy PB squadrons never got the cachet that their USAAF bomber squadron counterparts got. Though there are thousands of feet of flim on the 8th AF, I've enevr seen a movie about the Ventura. And it's civilian heritage may run against it as well, looking lke not much more than a glorified Lodestar. Navy PB squadrons never got the glamor, that's for sure.
The B-25 may be just as unknown today if it had flown only as the PBJ (which, thinking about it, is funny, "peanut butter and jelly")
