One of my favorite aviation pics but I don't know what the plane is.

Any help is appreciated.

It looks like they are all wearing the same clothes in this picture, identified as being taken around a 1943 Columbia (edit: 1943 Columbia PICTURES still, not a Columbia Biplane):

Hopefully the still will provide more details to help identify the plane. The landing gear is certainly distinctive.

I would bet my bippy it is a Stearman, looking at the landing gear, but which model - that is the question.
 
Watching the video (I love it!) it appears that the airplane model changes throughout the scenes...go figure :rolleyes:
