Not a Beech 18

It’s a Cessna Bobcaat, AKA Bamboo Bomber, known to the Army Air Corps as the T-50 or U78.

The “Bamboo Bomber” was Cessna Aircraft Company’s first aircraft and made its first flight on March 26, 1939 with Dwane Wallace at the controls. Built with the standard steel tube frame and covered with fabric, plywood and aluminum, a cantilever wing of laminated spruce and powered by a pair of Jacobs R-755-9 7 cylindar unsupercharged air cooled radial engines producing 245hp at takeoff. It trued out at about 130 kts with 5 pax.
