Re: To Sudek 13

Mike, German stuff (official and individual) lost copyright due to post-war decisions later implemented eg. by Enemy Property Act. Similarly, all the RAF stuff is considered Crown Copyright and according to HMSO is now expired and in public domain, while all the USAAF stuff was considered paid from taxes and again in public domain. Some, mostly companies, claim copyright, like Boeing for their photo collection, but the only problem is to find a lawyer for a long legal battle. They would lost.
