Judging by the exhaust pipes, the engine nacelle and prop blade I would say it might be the Convair CV-340

I think you may be correct, I thought it look familiar but I only worked on CV-580 & CV-600 Turbo prop conversions.

I see. IMHO that's one of the Convair CV family 240/340/440. So the CV-240 is possible too.

I hope this becomes a regular thread. Post a single picture of anything to do with WW2, including the years prior and just after.

Here's the first one. USS Cowpens rolls heavily during Typhoon Cobra, December 17th, 1944.

A dramatic illustration of what was often routine operations. I've only been to sea in a couple of medium-type storms, but 20 degrees roll looks A LOT more than it really is!
