Young Kurt Buehligen?

Found this picture on E_Bay. Sure looks like a young Buhligen.

Yes, and it is a well known photo too.

I had never seen it before. However, I do have lots of reference works and a history of JG-2 so I compared it to others of Herr Buehligen.

This brings up a case in point. I regularly scan German E-Bay militaria under "Flugzeug" to find interesting pictures. I also do the same on US E-Bay.
Some of the photos I find on German E-Bay I recognize from my reference works as being copies. If they're interesting, I copy them for my personal use.
Is this wrong? Am I committing an illegal act, in some form or fashion?
Bear in mind that I'm not selling them or sending them to other people.

Hi,

Pardon the promotion, but this photo also appears in our biography of Kurt Bühligen, which can be downloaded here: http://airwarpublications.com/earticles/biographies/

As for your question, no, I don't think you're doing anything wrong by saving photos from eBay and storing them on your computer for your own use.

Cheers,

Thank you Andrew, I was hoping someone would say that. It's fun to try and identify some of these photos.
