Douglas B-18. This was posted in another thread about a year ago but there's no serial on it yet.
Edit: Maybe this one? From Aviation Archaeology:

421025 B-18A 37-529 TT Det CRGC 4 25 mi NE of Fort Randall, AK

Or:

Thanks Chris, a B-18, no wounder I didn't recognise it
Not the one you listed as this one is meant to be on Kiska
This fits though

Yes, both Baugher and AAIR list 630 as "Missing" but no mention of whether it was found later.
