This post is in connection to the Evan's post with captured Me 262 pics - the second pic.I've found info that the S-92 (Me 262A) was the second prototype completed in Czechoslovakia from orginal German components.

Ah, I wasn't aware that they made them in Czechoslovakia. I am assuming that was post war.
Photos3 has pics of captured Ju-87's in British markings, including one the site claims the squadron CO used for beer runs,now THERE is a truly noble and essential use for a dive bomber! Can you see that happening in this day and age?
It still happens, more often than you think.
The color shot of the captured P-40 posted by Wildcat on page 4 of this thread is a scan from a slide in my collection. It was taken by James Weir at an airfield near Tokyo during the occupation.
It would have been nice to have at least received an image credit...
I share my photo collection how I see fit, on the net and in print. The more folks who get to see this kind of thing, the better. That is what is most important to me, and that is why I choose to post some of my collection on the internet. Please do not misunderstand; I do not mind that people take images I have posted on the net and post them elsewhere, so long as credit is given. It's a very simple and plain matter of courtesy. If you find an image on the internet, or take it from another source, such as a book or magazine, and present it elsewhere, the least you can do is mention the source.From your collection? If its that important to you why are you posting it on the Internet?
The issue of copyright is not the issue of dispute in this instance. I do not own copyright to the photo because, 1) I am not James Weir and 2) I have not taken legal steps to acquire rights to the photo. I have, however, been given the green light to use the photo however I see fit. More on this below...Do you have the copyright SHS ?
To be honest, I do not know much about the man. I have never met him and my only "contact" with him, if you want to call it that, was through the individual from whom I received the slide and who merely relayed Mr. Weir's wishes that any of his photos used for whatever purpose be credited to him. I do know that he was a member of the USAAF, but would have to say that he most likely was not an official AAF photographer. The overwhelming majority of official government photography from that period in time was done with black and white film.Was said James Weir's function during the occupation to take photos?
Do not mistake claim of copyright with a photo/image credit, as the majority of people do. As I've stated, I do not claim copyright to this photo. But I do claim credit for the image that is presented here in this thread, which was most probably taken from a page on my website.Unless you are James Weir, why do you deserve credit for the image?
OK - and website might that be?The slide from which the image in question originated is in my possession, and I am the individual who scanned said slide. I went through the trouble to clean up the resulting image and then post it on my website.
That won't be necessary Wildcat. This guy came in here acting so high and mighty and made the mistake of posting his website revealing his true identity, reminded me of a Batman TV show bumbling villain. Anyway as far as I'm concerned you're ok...I apologize, I don't even know where I got that pic from. Mods please feel free to remove it, no offence was meant.
