Nice shot, but I think it is an A-24 Banshee

Sorry to be picky, but that's a BT-14 peering between the wheels. The low hanging motor and triangular rudder are the giveaways.

Note the two "protrusions" aft of the fuselage strip. Anyone know what they are for? I can't remember ever seeing them before.

IIRC they're apertures for recce cameras. There's another rectangular camera window on the underside just forward of the fuselage stripe. I still haven't figured out how they maintained longitudinal stability with cameras so far aft.

Here's a RAAF P-43 after a mishap. These airframes were used in the PR role. Note the blanking plate on the rear fuselage in the same location as the fairings in the above pic.

Here's another pic of the crash involving A56-5:

Would ya look at that? I was right (for once)!

Wurger · Feb 1, 2023

Yep ..

Capt. Vick · Feb 1, 2023

Wow! Just Wow! You never fail to impress Wurger! Just brilliant!

Didn't know the Air Corp operated it in the Recon roll.
