Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:8501777 |
I used to collect photos and military documents, and I donated a huge amount to museums - the ones left over are duplicates or lessor-quality items than my donations. Passing on history:
4x5" black and white original WWII photo of a Luftwaffe airbase in Tunisia, overrun by US troops. The airfield in the photo shows (from left) a wrecked Junkers Ju-52/3m trimotor, then a second & possibly third Ju-52, and all the way to the right is a parked FW-190, one of the first w...e captured during the war.
The Focke Wulf FW-190 was a world-class fighter, with great range, handling, and firepower. It was a generation ahead of the aging Bf-109 and featured a far more modern instrument panel, a rugged radial, and a docile, wide-tracked landing gear. It was very popular with its pilots.
Nice photo, not a reprint like 90% for sale here. Unique at this stage! 70+ year old original photograph.
