No, it was a smaller plane than that, a B-25.

Robert A. M. Stern has done a number of books on New York architecture in specific years, but I don't think 1945 was one of them. Perhaps you could get help from the Avery Library of Architecture at Columbia University.

Several years ago, the History Channel produced a documentary on the
ESB. It is still available, I believe, and does include mention of that
B-24 (I think) that hit the building.

Does anyone know where I can get Pics of the NY skyline 1945?  Also I 
would 
like some info on the plane that crashed into the Empire State
Building,  I've 
found some stuff but very little.  Were there any movies or books on 
the 
subject that I can locate?   Thanks.
