Re: Ju 88 G-1 W.Nr. 714657 ??+JG
Hello Artie,
I stated the reason in the first post (the one I just posted before this about the He 111): I do have photos of these aircraft. And I don't intend to keep them for myself. I am working on a booklet about captured Luftwaffe aircraft at the end of WWII. It will contain only unpublished photos of which in most cases I own the originals (for other cases credit to the kind collectors who let me use them for my project will be given, of course). And since the statement "unpublished photos" should still be true when the booklet is finished I cannot publish these photos here unfortunately. While I appreciate that you and others spent 1000 of hours researching the subject (including me by the way; but my major focus is on the Me 262 and for other subjects I need the help of others) I spent hundreds of dollars to get these unpublished and exciting photos for this project. I spend many hours on collecting, researching and turning this idea into a real booklet so that also other people can enjoy these photos. I hope you understand that I won't publish them at the forum before the booklet is complete.
If you have information you would like to share and you want to see the photo I could send it to you via e-mail (if you promise to me not to send it to anybody else) so that it is a fair exchange of information. That said and since I am aware that I cannot know everything and am also likely to make mistakes I am hoping to get the booklet reviewed by expert historians before it will be published.
I can finish the booklet without the additional information about these aircraft. But it would be a pitty since the information is out there. On the other hand I can understand that not everybody is ready to share what he collected over thousands of hours. In the end the photos themself are in many cases the most interesting thing on such a photo booklet.
That is and will be the reason of most my requests at TOCH. I would be glad to hear from anybody who would like to help me and who would like to review the final booklet. If you don't like to help please just ignore my requests. I have to and will understand that you have some good reasons not to help. I won't be offended if you don't like to help but I will be very grateful if you do like to help.
Kind regards
Roger Gaemperle
