The relatively short wingspan, shape of the wings and single vertical stabilizer reveal this to actually be an image of a Short Stirling bomber. See three-view of the Short Stirling here for comparison: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Short_Stirlin...

Thank you very much for this information. The original photo had the mistaken information written on the back, but judging by the illustrations that you have provided I believe that you are correct. I will correct the description; thanks again!

French Air Force B-17 in background is, General Koenig's 'Bir Hackeim' , the only B-17 they received which flew via Middle East and India to Indochina ca.September 1945

Also visible a B-24, P-47(razor-back, USAAF)? and B-25

And based on the hangar in one of the other Stirling photos the airfield is Dum Dum Calcutta

French sources have dated this photo between 12-17 September 1945 based on the schedule of the French VIPs using the B-17...so Jack Canary was presumably on his return journey from the CBI zone
