Hello Revi16,

Regarding post #63: Fw190: http://www.ebay.de/itm/2Wk-Foto-Flug...wAAOSwnbZYIfJl.

The presence of U.S. Navy pilots is likely the result of the location being Cuers, France (AKA Cuers-Pierrelatt) close to the Mediterranean coast (43.247222 6.130275).

Further, I believe that the Focke-Wulf shown is Fw 190 A-4 (140703) TN+ZG, 5+ black, Cuers, France 1944.

Respectfully,

Steve Sheflin
