I believe it's a caribou or even a buffalo.

 

 

I’m not familiar with the Buffalo, but after looking it up, yes it could be that also. Apparently the Buffalo is based off of the Caribou. The types of engines used and the placement of the horizontal stabilizers being the main differences. Did it sound like it had radial engines or turboprop engines?

I am sure it's a civilian. Slow means not a turbo.

It'll come up "short"ly. Something like a DH Caribou.

I don't think it's a B-25. The nacelles don't extend past the trailing edge of the wing

I did too, but there aren't any left. The striking characteristic is the inboard flap edges being square to the centerline.

The cord is not wide enough for a B25. I think Stick may be right but it looks to have two vertical stabs. Mustang, yes I believe it had retracs

Tojo, B24, B29

At first I thought it might be a Manchester.

Hard to tell from the picture.  Could you tell if it had fixed landing gear?  Did it have a single vertical stab or double?

Wings look too narrow in chord for a B-25. Possibly a C-7 Caribou

Wing shape out to nacelles and tail configuration tend to say Mitchell to me too.

Tough to tell for sure.  A B-25, maybe?
