I'm pretty sure it's a USAF field, probably Wright Field.

It looks like it has twin tail fins so my money is on an early Fairchild C-82 Packet. Not a common type at all.
Used for transport so makes sense to be at an active field.
Nice work by the way AG!

It's low on its wheels Steve, and I don't even know the C-82 Fairchild to be honest.😄 You might be right. ![](https://i.ibb.co/gjDQ51T/C-82-A-Packet-CQ-585.jpg)
