Looks like either A-20s or the B-26. I didn't realize that they looked so similar till now.

Hey Durr

Those appear to be A-20s near the bow.  The B-26 (A-26) had a squared off tail and slimmer  fuselage and wing.  The best I can make out, the others look like mostly P-47s, with maybe a P-38 near the front and some partly assembled B-25s at the stern.  Maybe somebody else has better eyes.

Regards

Dick

I believe you're right.

By my guesstimation ... A-20 Havocs up front with two P-38 Lightnings right behind them.  In the middle are a lot of Razorback P-47 Thunderbolts and on the stern, disassembled B-25s.  There is one lone P-51 Mustang just in front of the forward Mitchell on the starboard side.
