Re: Reflections of War: Forgotten Photographic Archives of the Second World War

Particularly I felt the price a bit high and we do have a good sample of poor text below a photograph:
ENGINE STORE AT AN AIRBASE, 1944 (All rights reserved Topfoto, Image ID: PD3001498)

This image shown as "an engine store at an air base - unlocated, circa 1944 according to the author" is apparently an aeronautical engine FACTORY. I doubt if an airbase did have such a huge engine store...one would need two airbases...one for the engines and one for the airplanes and personnel....In my humble opinion...the images may be great, but the text below seems to be poorly researched. Again, we do have a nice image of Churchill....where? which town? During the Blitz? Going where? Doing Propaganda? Very abstract the text below...we are dealing with History....one needs, place, time and further information - in my humble opinion.
