Re: Combat Aerial Photography
Being a former news camera op, I'd like to salute the bravery of the war time camera man, whether motion camera or still, to be in the line of fire while only shooting back with film is a nervy thing, I admire their courage to get the best pictures,
done it a couple of times myself at seiges...nothing like those boys...or anything like the german Menge! That's bravery!

Re: Combat Aerial Photography

   Cheers, Dave

Re: Combat Aerial Photography
Here's a reconnaissance image where I live in the UK. Taken in 1941 on a reconnaissance training sortie by 17 Operational Training Unit (OTU) based at RAF Upwood.
I'm lucky I have 9 original prints that cover this area  The village has now changed, I think at the last count over 2,500 people live there now.

Re: Combat Aerial Photography
I've got it bookmarked! Your site is great reference material for "design your own" wargaming scenarios, too. Keep up the good work!
