Most likely either a Boeing or USAAF photo taken just before or after its delivery.
There is another photo of the same aircraft dated to Nov 1943, no doubt on the same photo shoot!
It has the brown-grey camo which was deleted when the type went into combat in the Pacific.
Only seen aircraft based in China using that.
42-6242 was officially delivered to USAAF 3 Nov 1943 and handed over to 794BS 468BG and departed
for the CBI theater in April 1944 and used as Nick says.
