Eagleston3

This is a Bf 109 G-2/Trop. The clues are : the thick windshield frame, includind the armored glass, the large propeller paddle blades and the deep oil radiator under the engine. On the white outline of the balck cross on the fuselage we can see the access hatche to compressed air bottles for the cowling MG 17. Colors ot this plane are : sand (RLM 79) on uppersurfaces and azure blue (RLM 78) on undersurfaces. ...more

If you look closely at this picture, you see that the plane is empty, the pilot having already bailed out...

I agree. This is Marseille. In foreground is "La Tourette". On the right is the "Vieux Port" (Old Harbor). In the background, the two churches that we see are, on the left, the "Clocher des Accoules" and on the right, just behind La Touette, the "Église des Réformés" at the very end of the "Canebière".

This "white 23" could have been Oberst Ihlefeld's personnal commanding plane.

Eagleston3 Not a K-4 because of the small wheel bumps on the wings and the fixed long tailwheel.

The plane is not a C-47, but a Curtiss C-46 Commando.

This is not a C-130 Hercules but a C-7 Caribou.

This is not a B-24, but a B-32 Dominator.

Hi, This is a Fairey Albacore: Very interesting document for a relatively seldom seen torpedo plane...
