Hello Christian,
Could it be that you forgot to name a URL where this photo can be seen in your post? Regards, Bart |

Hi Christian,

Re: Spitfire Profile question
Hi Christian,
The photograph can be found in "Fighters Over Tunisia" on page 56. By Chris Shores, Hans Ring & William Hess published in 1975. The photograph is actually via the Imperial War Museum . ( I also have a copy in my own collection) Mervyn |

Re: Spitfire Profile question
Well, that's at least a source, but "Fighters over Tunisia" costs around 300 $ or even more at different antique book sellers. Not exactly what I call easily available! So could someone please post a scan of this picture or knows where else to find it?

Re: Spitfire Profile question
Wouldn't you be able to get "Fighters over Tunesia" from a library if needed ?
I do not know your interest in a photo, but the photo does not give anymore onformation that the profile. The tail of the aircraft is not in the picture. Mikkel Plannthin danishww2pilots.dk

Re: Spitfire Profile question
Hmm, a library, why this didn't occur to me? I've just ordered it in the morning! The tail I guess is visible on the original picture and was left out in the book for layout reasons, but I think I can work with the rest of the plane visible. Thank you very much for this input!
