Amazing finding, thanks for sharing. However, I have one problem, the search engine doesn't seem to work. Any hints?

[Skyraider3D]

Yes, go to Hyperscale - all the good stuff has been found and posted there!

Boris' links are many of the better finds though - a good selection.

Seriously though, the Search bug is terribly annoying indeed...

I find there a bulk of very interesting images related to Yugoslavia. Some of topic was also published on one local Serbian forum, Burek.

Anything aviation related? I only found a couple of pics of a Russian Il-14.

I have the December 9, 1940 issue of life, and in it is an article. "Top Fighters of German Air Force are Aces Galland, Mölders, Wick".
This is a two page spread four photos of the Aces, One of Mölders Bf109 rudder with the 32nd victory bar being painted on and a shot of London being bombed at night.
The article is rather short however I was blown away to find it in LIFE! Then I got to thinking that the US was still not in the war at this time.
So perhaps an issue to look for on ebay for anyone interested.

Probably not from the same article, but here's an early-war colour photo of Galland and others:

Thanks for confirming that. The more I looked at that photo the more I thought "Galland's looking too old (and too fat) to be Galland..." - at least the fighter ace that is. Don't know how many more Gallands are there...?
