Re: Possibly new photos................
Quoting from the one responder to the posting on the original website:
Most of the photos appear to depict Martin Marauders (B-26) with two of B-17 Flying Fortresses and one P-51 Mustang.
The first large group of aircraft are Marauders with at least one B-24 Liberator.
The first of the wrecked German aircraft may be a Bf 109 but the rest are Fw 190s.
A good place to start, other than the names, may be the nose art, clearly visible in several shots, since no two aircraft ever carried the same design.
In short, you're looking for a B-26 unit, stationed in Devon (not exactly a hotbed of activity ), 1944-45 and including the nose art examples illustrated.
I'm not sure about the next stage but there could be a couple of USAAF websites that'd help here.
