# 2 I think is a post-war photo. Tempest NV723 was struck off charge from Sylt in the 1950s.
# 4 looks like Battle L5503 QT-L of 142 Sqn, lost on 23 August 1940. See: https://martinaviationpages.com/23-august-1940/ |

Agree Andy Both the prop and (seemingly) the engine are both missing, so I would say the pic was taken after it was SOC The D.338 in pic 1 is said by the seller to have been taken in Poland. Does everyone agree on that? Cheers Stig |
Re: eBay: Allied intrest
For picture number one, I'd say it was taken in France.

That is the obvious answer, but I don't have any loss details for the aircraft in question, hence my reaction and question. Cheers Stig |
Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Stig,
You should consider the possibility that this may be a private aircraft that was stored in a hangar along with military aircraft. |

The D.338 in question was a formed AA aircraft, civil registered and used by Air France. In the period 1919-1939 both France and Poland had a lot to do with each other, both politically and financially. Poland used a lot of French aircraft types as well. For all I can say (Franek??) it is not impossible that an Air France aircraft could get stuck somewhere in Poland and be destroyed. Also the pic is clearly taken outside, not inside any hangar. Cheers Stig |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Hi all,

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
The P-47D (quite an amazing B-17....) looks like 42-7865 lost 16.3.1943.
The pilot Goerge Spaleny bailed out and was made POW No idea about your second one Cheers Stig |
Re: eBay: Allied intrest
4th time of trying to post.
Photos 3-4 both lost on Mission 83 16 Aug.43 to Le Bourget airfield. B-17F 42-5797 BK-E 384BG (ex-AFSC) shot down by e/a, MACR 295. Tail symbol looks like a Greek "Pi"; on 1 July 1st. Div. ordered a triangle with Group letter (384th ="P), maybe no time to mark up so used this. P-47D 42-7865 LM-T 56FG with engine failure escorting B-17s crashed W. of Beauvais, on VIIIFC 105. As Stig says. Nick |

Marked "A3+KB ( A3 in very small black digits), serial on tail as "28641" and yellow undersides. Photo at Salzburg R-80 after captured by US forces in May, the field used by Supply & Evacuation Sections (note C-47). Nick |
