The pic is a bit difficult for my eyes, but the markings suggest it is a TBD Devastator, late-prewar/early war USN torpedo bomber. By the markings, this was the #3 aircraft in VT-6, Torpedo Squadron Six, still part of Carrier Air Group Six, assigned to the U.S.S. Enterprise during the first part of the war up until June of 1942 when, along with most of its squadron mates as well as those from Yorktown and Hornet, almost all operational TBDs were shot down attacking the Japanese carriers north of a little sandspit called Midway. IIRC, ten of fourteen TBDs flying with VT-6 were lost.
Blame for the loss is often placed on the aircraft design--and it was fairly slow--but the real cause was a mix of uncoordinated attacks; the straight, level, and low attack pattern of torpedo aircraft; and unfortunate timing.
