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.

Thanks for the clarification. I should have known that.

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.

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.
