Re: Some not so well known colour pics

Hello Marc-Andre!

The first photo is well known and has appeared with others from the same series in "Luftwaffe im Focus Spezial Color 1".
The legend mentions Caffiers for the airfield, which was perfectly impossible. This aircraft was damaged in air combat and made a landing for repairs at Calais/Marck where this photo has been taken, probably ca August 1940 (it took me months to find out what airfield it was!).
Refer to the LiF issue for more. This series is really interesting because of the quality of color and also the fact you could also see the original French hangar in warpaint, and a Klemm 35 hack in the background...
