While that is a great Picture of Jackie, she is not sitting in the cockpit of any Bomber, and I doubt it was taken in Canada. She is sitting in one of the 2 Seversky P-35 based Racers she flew, both numbered #13. I think it is the second one the AP-7 as the number 13 is farther forward, and by the fuselage construction is more like a P-43, than a P-35. And she flew the A/C earlier 1938-1940 time frame.

They need to hurry with getting that hangar built- their Bolo is exposed.
We all know how embarrassing that can be.
