American Aircraft at captured airbase

Hello again,
Here are some of the pictures that were given to me to look into for a friends family. They were taken by my friend's grandfather. He was an engineer in the ETO. He occupied enemy airfields and re-constructed them for Allied use. I have some pictures of a wide range of interesting American aircraft, as it shows a mix of fighters, as well as medium and heavy bombers. All the pictures seemed to date from early-mid Feb. 1945. There is another thread, where I posted the Luftwaffe aircraft that littered the airfield early Feb. 1945, mostly around the 4th http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=19698. This series of photos take place a few days later mostly around Feb 14-15,1945.
I was hoping to find out as much as I can from the pictures if it is possible, and I would like to share them as well. Let me know about any comments. Sorry for the size, just wanted to leave the details in them.

Feb. 4 1945.


Feb. 15 1945


Feb. 15 1945 (I believe he kept instrumentation from this particular aircraft)


Feb.14 1945


Feb.14 1945


Feb.14 1945


Feb. 1945


This is the man who these photos belonged to (on the right in both pictures).
