believe the aircraft to be a b-17 or a b-24. I don't have a lot of
experience identifying planes of this era. any help would be

North American B-25 Mitchell, probably a B-25G. Only WWII aircraft to
mount a 75mm cannon in the nose.

I think you'll find that the Henschel Hs 129 B-3 carried a 75mm gun in the
nose, but not very successfully.

I will have to disagree here. Together with the PaK 37 equipped Stuka the Hs
129 was a very succesful can-opener on the Russian front.
