This is a Stinson HW-75, or 105 Voyager. The design was later modified to the L-5 Sentinel for the war.

I believe the "Bar Harbor Airport" is not actually in BarHarbor but on the mainland in Trenton, Maine.

charlesstobbs: Thanks for the information about the airport location. For now, we’re gathering the suggestions and corrections, but holding off on making changes until more comments come in.

Actually During WWII there where two airports in Bar Harbor one was NAAS Bar Harbor which was located in trenton and Bar Harbor Municable my guess is that almost all of these were from Bar harbor Munc. the shots of the runways don't show the Dumby Arresting setup that was at NAAS bar Harbor. nor does it show any of the USN/RN-Fleet Air Arms buildings. The hanger looks to be one of the old Wright Flying Services hangers that were torn down right after the War was over.

Willa Beatrice Brown (1906-1992) was also the first African-American woman to hold a commercial pilot's license in the US (Bessie Coleman got her license in 1921, that was in France): www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=7288758 She ran for Congress in 1946, 1948, and 1950, and taught aeronautics at a high school until she retired in the 1970s. avstop.com/history/blackwomenpilot/willabrown.htm
