I said unpublished photo. I have an unpublished, formerly unknown photo of Szobránczy.

OK, I think it is (there are, I have all 3 or 4) unpublished photos, I have not seen them earlier in any Hungarian and other publiactions.

As for your picture (which I guess, was bought from László Jávor) is a repro.

Yes it is very good repro, but not this one from him, other ones yes. I had got other photos from him about this air war too, as some other materials. Javor is very helpful in such services indeed, we know each other many years.

I do not publish copy-paste materials.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 this is good attitiude. When you writing a book or other strong material (something more then > 80.000 signes) such details are very nice, ana it is good to read them too.
There are plenty materials, when authors done such simple and easy work - copy and past. I call them "rewriters" and do not like this too. There are plenty such stories (even books), which many times create more mithology then true. But it is so, and you (or me) can not change it. Simplicity is worldwide.
Probably, when you at last will edit your book about this subject, you will write more deeply about this war too. But your planed book has not been yet printed? It is very interesting project, but from publisher point of view, there are too few facts about "Me 109s and black crosses" for readers. They love all about subjects around "Me 109s/ P-51s, Spitfire ect." in Europe. I hope that it will be anyway overcame and all the best to finish this book, which is needed too, :-)
