Lockheed B-34 Lexington
Not a Hudson : the deeper engine cowling encompasses Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp or Wright R-2600 Twin Cyclone (two rows of nine cylinders) of the Ventura family instead of the Wright GR-1820-G102A Cyclone 9-cylinder radial engines mounted on the Hudson.
Most of the Venturas were on strength with the US Navy or the RAF (Royal Air Force and other Commonwealth AF) but a small number were used by the USAAF as B-34 Lexington. It is probably this variant that is found on both sides of the stage.
