Hi does anyone know where I could find strike or recon photos of the Sandhofen Airfield(Fliegerhorst Sandhofen)??

Thank you very much for any help.

I have seen strike and recon photos, and for the most part, nothing is clearly visible. In strike photos, the bomb blasts obscure most details. In recon photos, tiny shapes of aircraft are sometimes visible, otherwise one sees buildings with holes in the roof and craters for bomb damage assessment purposes.

I am not trying to discourage you. I am just offering my amateur, limited assessment of what I've seen.

I have recce imagery of both Graz and Schwadorf airfields in Austria and yes they have been taken at a fair hight (17,500 - 19,000 feet) but you can make out aircraft type and when you use stereo viewing it makes the details standout even more.

Thanks for the answers. But who has the original Strike Photos ? AFRA?
Or have they not been stored?
Thanks
Dirk
