Re: Santa Claus gifts!

And if you want to know the caption of a specific picture, just say which one /or more than one/ and I will translate here. A good deal of the aviation photos on this site are mine and there will be many more to come. I have decided to share the stuff that I have. It is free to post the photos on other sites, just please always say it's from lostbulgaria.com If you need an aviation photo for a publication, ask me and if it is one of my photos, I can send a high quality scan.

Re: Santa Claus gifts!

Page 1 - photo 3 - Henschel Hs126 - Bulgarian pilots and ground staff at a LW He-126. That is during the time of the Balkan Campaign of the German army.

Page 2 - photo 8 - Blohm und Voss Bv138 - this is in 1944, near the town of Varna, Bulgaria. The flying boats operated from there.

Page 4 - photo 1 - Messerschmitt Me323 - the giant has landed with supplies for the Wehrmacht at a Bulgarian airfield. I believe it is the Plovdiv airfield, the base of the Bulgarian Bomber Regiment, though it's not indicated on the back of the photo, unfortunately. I think so because of the hangar seen /well, seen on another picture which is not yet up on the site... checked again, it IS on the site/

Re: Santa Claus gifts!

These are Bulgarian fighter pilots at a newly delivered De.520 at the Karlovo airfield, 1943. That was the base of the fighter regiment. This one has only year and location. Other similar photos have month too - September - so this one is probably from August-September.
