Quite right! Its Dewoitine D.520 for sure.

I could be wrong, but judging by the style of dress, and the vehicle in the picture, the Dewoitine might be being prepared for exhibition, immediately post war? I think this same aircraft might be in the Musee D'l Air, Paris, today.
Intersting picture, nice find.

Nice guys!! Yes, the album covers the period directly after the war. I believe this photo came from late may of 45. It would be neat if the plane is still in the museum! Another interesting photo that may be related is this one - I think it is a display of captured SS and hitler documents not sure though

My novice status notwithstanding, a question for the linguistically talented out there: / / / / Can anyone give me a hint as to how this word is pronounced in French? (sound it out...eg: Deh-wah-tahn...?) --is that close? Cactus

The first "e" almost has a long "a" sound as in "day". The closest I can describe it without being able to speak it here, would be "day-wah-teen".
I've looked on youtube to see if I could find anyone talking about the plane, but no luck. Some good clips there though.

My son, fairly fluent in the language, confirms this pronunciation.
