Here's another geolocation mystery. Again, it's 1963 and it's from the same roll that has aerial shots of Iran and Kuwait.

@ai6yr any ideas?

Oooh, cool! I wonder what kind of plane that is, too... I will find you the locaiton, that should be straightforward.

Based on the top of the engine cowling, my best guess is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_…

But I'm not 100%

Thanks! I think C-54 is the ticket

I'm not sure, I am having difficulty seeing how you'd get that photo and only have one of the two engines on the wing in the frame. In another thread @intrepidhero suggested a Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon. That has a very similar bump on top of the cowling and the view looks like it might match the view from the window behind the pilot. vmst.io/@intrepidhero/11449559…

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Possibly? Lockheed PV-2? https://www.airhistory.net/photo/506742/N7249C
