Re: B-24 shot down by Me-262 Photo - Real or Fake
To me, this photo always seemed to cry “fake” – too perfectly framed, just blurry enough so that the details can’t be seen. But…
Max Hastings, in “Armageddon, the Battle for Germany, 1944-1945” identifies the photographer, Harold Dorfman, a navigator in the 448th bomb group. Footnotes to the paragraphs discussing Dorfman’s service are footnoted “AI –author interview”. This photo is included in the book, although no details are given and Dorfman;s section only mentions that he was a “passionate amateur photographer and snatched some remarkable images from their cockpit….”
So, it looks like it is a real photo.
