ClinA-78,

Excellent post! Thanx. Several questions to clarify what I'm dealing with:

1) The photo that duplicates the site of the wartime Luftwaffe photo looking out across the landing ground (is this still an airfield?) absolutely confirms the location for the photo as Hort-Ste.-Marie (Belgium). Is Hort-Ste.-Marie the correct name of this place, or is it more accurately called Ste. Marie AF, at Chevigny, Belgium? What does the "Hort" mean, which doesn't translate in "Google Translator?" Did you take a similar photo from that location which can be used in the EoE Project to document this location?

2) The photo in your first post is credited as "(SC),? the meaning of which is not clear to me. Do you or anyone else know what source "SC" is? This photo appears in von Eimansberger's book (Schiffer Publishers in USA), P 54, but unfortunately was not in his master collection when I visited him. So I'm left with trying to find a photo from which I can get a high-resolution scan for the profile of Liensberger's L1+XB featured in the photo. The other photo in this post thread doesn't show the nose of the nearest a/c and this is crucial to getting a good close-up of that for purposes of the planned profile.

3) Regarding the crash of L1+EH, WNr3524 at the edge of the wood line (your second post), I have both of these photos in the EoE Collection, plus several others of it and the grave sites where this crew was buried. I also have photos of this a/c before it crashed. Is it possible to send me or post a google earth image or map showing the exact site of this crash? It would also be nice to have a photo of your souvenir prop blade from the crash site. I can send you a PM with my personal email address if this will help.

All in all, an excellent outcome, so far, for some of my questions relating to this post thread. However, I still need to locate print sources for these original photos from which to make high res scans.
