Certainly, the photo of the Fa 223 V14 is from an album which was sold on E-Bay just over a year ago. Various individual photos from it were sold as well as scans. I own the original of this photo. I think the rest of these photos also come from the disc sold at that time.

Steve you are 100% correct, all these photos came as a disc with scanned photos, not as an actual album. Seller named this on e-bay as "photo album" and there was very long description provided that I did not read completely This was the way how I got this pretty expensive DVD disc with bad made scans instead photo album with original photos. Anyway we all can enjoy all these photos together as an entire photo album ...

Photo-War - From memory, I think it was a pretty rapid turnover between the original album being sold and the various photos then being stripped out and sold individually. As you'll know from your disc, there were a small number of gems amongst them and as best as I recall, the sale prices of the individual photos delivered a nice profit for the seller before including any additional disc sales.
