Re: 1939: a stunning Bf 109 E-3 flown by... St.G 7 !

I still disagree...

This is a staged WW2 photo...with the focal point being the emblem. As such, if the line showed up on the original, it certainly would have been touched up or removed, to make the emblem look nicer.

We are not speaking about a candid photo here, or something from a private estate. This is a specific propaganda photo...

If someone is going to falsely ADD an emblem, with all the correct shading and lighting...they can easily add one tiny line to represent the panel. That is an obvious detail, and something that certainly never would have been missed.

It is nearly impossible to match angles and lighting...so going through all that work to falsify an emblem, only to leave off one obvious line does not make sense.

I work with photoshop every day...and there is no way I would miss a detail like that.

It is not a matter of someone adding the logo and forgetting the line...it is the matter of the logo already being there, and someone REMOVING the line, so the emblem looks good.

This is an original wartime staged propaganda photo...with the focal point being the emblem...as such anything taking away from the emblem was removed.
