The caption on the print misspells Mitchel Field as "Mitchell Field". It's not an uncommon error, as the airfield is not named for Billy Mitchell, but former New York City James Purroy Mitchel (1879-1918), who perished during pilot training during the First World War.

This looks like a LWF Model H "Owl" trimotor, which was a mail plane, not a bomber.

In 1922 the U.S. Army Air Service evaluated the "Owl" as a bomber at Langley Field, Virginia.
