41-7746 was sold in Italy as I-PALU after the war. The back of the photo says it was taken in Italy, with Casablanca pencilled in. The presence of French aircraft discounts Italy. Both C-47s shown were based at Oran Tafaraoui, which was also a base for A-20s, P-39s and P-38s as seen in the background. A photo of P-40s at Casablanca at this time showed arched hangar roofs, not pitched as in the photo and the proximity of the mountains fits Oran better than Casablanca. However this is not a certainty and open to correction. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland
