I just love "Luftwaffe March" from the BoB movie, got me humming it now.Whistling

Those pics are great, that dirty "yellow nosed basturd" is interesting, must be in EF (Eastern Front) but it looks like an Emil.? Usually think of later variants.

Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom.  Peace be with you.

Signal is the best source for original WWII color photos from Goebels' propaganda machine. The bottom three photos are excellent examples of their work. But the top one looks to me like it was computer colorized when compared to them. The sky tones, flesh tones, and canopy sections of the 109 are a giveaway there.

"Pazerlied" is superb for anything showing Panzers. I am also very partial to "Prussian Glory" for German Military March tunes.

Another source is to Google Image search for Luftwaffe photos from Signal magazine..

Der Stern von Afrika

Yeah, ya gotta search a bit, but Signal is the best source for original color photos, IMHO.. 

Goodwin's "Luftwaffe March" from the "Battle of Britain" soundtrack is always great to hear.

True, but you can't beat "Panzerlied"...

A bit of a misleading title. Well there were a few good B&W photos of those aces mounts, a couple nice color studio photos of some of the aces themselves, and all the other color stuff was paintings and profiles. Not good hard reference material that a color photograph is. Rather those are artists interpretations of B&W photos and written material at best. Not one original color film photograph of any of the aces mounts in the video. But Ron Goodwin's "Luftwaffe March" from the "Battle of Britain" soundtrack is always great to hear.

Luftwaffe Top 10 Fighter Aces: "COLOR" still pictures of their aircraft
Posted by RedBird on Sunday, November 4, 2012 11:52 AM

Stumbled upon this six minute video clip on You Tube. It hi-lites WW ll`s top Luftwaffe Fighter Aces. It also shows "COLOR" still pictures of the aircraft (Me-109`s, Fw-190`s, Me-262`s etc) they flew. For those of you that have an interest in replicating any of these top Luftwaffe Aces`s aircraft I think this would be a a good resource for your research.

Enjoy
