I believe that's a P-51A of the eight gun variety. Two under the nose and three in each wing, the outer pair are just out of frame on each side.

I hate to be pedantic Peter, but the aeroplane in the picture is a Mustang I armed with 8 machine guns; four .50s and four .303s. The P-51A was not the same and appeared later; it was armed with four .50 cal MGs, two in each wing only.
 
 
 


Too late, Helmut found out that in a picture meant only for Gertrude, Otto had invented "die Foto-Bombe".
 
Early shot of U.S.S. Langley, I thought it cool that their shooting a landings at anchor, unless he's just doing a fly by.

I think they were done at anchor. Them string bags didn't need any forward motion to keep aloft.....
