Planes are B-18A (sharknose), B-18 (snubnose), P-36.
What or where was the 92ED shown on the P-36? Engineering Detachment perhaps?
Monkstraps were very seldom seen on officers prewar, and never on civilians except for a few fashion plates.
Much more common postwar - an instance of uniforms influencing fashions back home.
One suspects these were aircrew trainees, who were never issued A-2s prewar, or primary flight trainees, who had not yet earned them.
Do those blue shirts (and o/s caps?) ring any bells with anybody?
