[Csaba B. Stenge]

I said unpublished photo. I have an unpublished, formerly unknown photo of Szobránczy. Actually it is me, who can recognize him and most of the other involving pilots. These photos surfacing without any captions and notes, so identify these people needs some real knowledge related to this topic.

As for your picture (which I guess, was bought from László Jávor) is a repro. Using it as own is a copyright infringement towards the owner of the genuine negative (or if it lacks, the genuine positive). I don't own that photo and honestly, I do not interested in who uses what pictures in which way, until they claim them as theirs, although they even don't know the original source. Not necessary to explain these things, it is breach of copyrights.

As for the first publication in this topic from Hungarian side in English, it was written by Gyula (Julius) Gaál in 1972 and also in 1977 in Aero Album and Air Combat issues. (IIRC from Slovak side it was Rajninec in 1971 in Air Enthusiast.) I know all of the sources, used by former, old publications, these were already printed and published materials with additionally 1-2 reminiscences. (Also known ones.)

I do not publish copy-paste materials. In this case, as always in my research, I just went through every available primary (archival) materials (which no other researchers did) and also chased all around the world of the involving aircrews (pilots, observers, gunners) and their families. And not just the fighters and bombers, but also the reconnaissance crews, since most of the sorties were flown by them. And I went not just after them, I even managed to found the families of two Hungarian soldiers, who were killed by Slovak air raids. And it was also me, who localized and found the grave of Szobránczy and who sometimes visit it (he died in the US but his ashes were transported back to Hungary but since his family died out and the gravestone was changed, his name does not appear there).
