collection Crow

[Peter Kassak]

Hi all.

isthere any way how to contact Mr. (Jim?) Crow to ask for some particular photo from his collection of aircraft at the LW airfields abandoned at the end of hostilities?
Any contacts (especially email, possibly send by PM to keep it safe) will be warmly appreciated

THANKS

Peter

I don't have his address with me, but you'll need to reach Jim via snailmail. He still hadn't joined the computer age last I knew. If you were in the old LW Verband, his address should be listed there.

in phone calls from last year Jim told me he does not answer his e-mails even with an acct some 2 plus years old. I tried three weeks ago ............. no response. Peter, write him a letter

An old topic, I know. But has someone here an easy access to Mr Crow? I would like to send him some scans for comparisons with his collection and via e-mail this would be much less complicated. Can anybody help?

Regards,
Christian

Christian,

Did ever join the LW Verband? Rosch used to send out a yearly member list. Jim Crow's address would be listed there. It hasn't changed to my knowledge. If you don't have that, PM me.

Thanks Jim for your kind offer, but I was helped already

Regards,
Christian

All I'll say is that the man has an amazing collection. Most of my own collection of 600-700 photos, maybe more since I've never actually counted them, came from Jim Crow.

Peter Petrick's collection of Luftwaffe aircraft photos is in the 35,000 - 40,000 range, or at least it was at one time I was told. There is another private collection "out there" that is said to be around 85,000. But who would want a collection that large? Inventory, storage and cataloging would present a major burden. But most especially because if your address, e-mail and phone number were known, people would pester you half to death trying to get copies of this photo or that photo. Then, if you had the audacity to charge $25 - $50 for a print, the "enthusiast" proletariat wo0uld go insane and brand you a no good SOB. If you think about it, it's not a possession most people would want to be saddled with.

FWIW

Larry, "the "enthusiast" proletariat" Hmmm.....I find it an unnecessary derogative statement about people! Ok, I'm probably part of that then......Do we have some kind of "Nobles" around as well then?
