This is possibly Charles Rector's means of returning from the B-25 ferry flight to india....Pan American had been engaged by Winston Churchill to set up an efficient airway across Africa to support the British in Egypt...after Pearl Harbour the route expanded to india and China and the Pan Am operation was absorbed into the USAAF ATC route from the USA via Miami and Natal, Brazil, later sometimes called the 'Fireball Route'

Top right photo is believed to be the wing of Dutch B-25 N5-139 one of a batch of 5 which arrived at Bangalore India on a ferry flight to the Dutch East Indies in 1942 which could not proceed due to Japanes advances. The 5 B-25s were transferred to the British and reportedly converted for Photo-Reconnaissance
