The B-25A had a tail gunner. The B,C,D, G models did not have a tail gunner, although units were known to stick a machine gun out the plastic bubble in the tail, or even broomsticks made to look like machine guns.  But the B-25H and J models did have a regular tail gunner's position, the top turret was moved forward and waist guns were installed, too.  Some of the earlier B-25's at some units, most notably in the Med, had tail gunner positions added, probably at overseas depots; they looked quite similar to the tail gunner positions on the H-J but were a bit cruder.
