Re: A kind of legal question about photos.

Thank you Mark, that's a very interesting link. So as I read it, only photographs taken by unidentifiable (or very long dead) private individuals in WW2 are out of copyright, or will be in a couple of years. Any photograph taken by a Government agent will only be out of copyright if it had already been reproduced commercially before 1963.

You still have to obtain a good original print, of course. It might make an interesting legal case to buy and publish such a photo from (say) the FAAM at their private rate, but I don't think I'm up for it.
