factory photos vs. "in action" photos
Tue May 30 13:39:01 2024
I have often wondered why so few books have production line photoghraps of German aircraft instead of often poor quality action pics. I doubt that is due to availability
(at least there exist a number of factory photos of tanks as seen e.g. in Spielberger´s series). IMHO the best aircraft photoghraps I have ever seen are old American
factory photos (which are, for some reason, much better in clarity than modern b/w photos). Why all this emphasis on action photos (modeller totalitarianism?)?
