That’s an awesome picture. Your dad would have been in the army air corps. The Air Force didn’t become it’s own branch until 1947.

That’s probably one of the only things I remembered from boot camp. That and the Air Force song.

FYI: in 1943 it was the Army Air Forces (USAAF), not the Air Corps.

Looks like it. B-24s and B-25s had a rounded tail, not a vertical-stabilizer upside down "T". There is a small chance it might be an A-26 or something, though.

Well, B-24, B-25, and A-26 all had tricycle gear, so this pic rules them out, looks like.
