It's either a Webley & Scott or an Enfield .38 revolver. The Enfield is almost an exact copy of the W&S, so it's almost impossible to tell from this photo.

Can't remember the designation, Lodestar (sp?) was the plane's name... but wasn't it a taildragger?

I guess you gent's haven't been to a CAF airshow?

It's a B-24.

The plane in the color photo is the CAF's B-24/LB-30 Diamond Lil.

I was aboard it several weeks ago when it and FiFi (B-29A) visited here on Long Island.

Diamond Lil has rondels, and a guy with a pistol? You looking at the right picture?

RAF in the CBI also used the 2 colour roundels: the red was removed to prevent confusion with the red sun symbol on Japanase a/c.
