Hello to all - this is my first post.
I've been collecting photos of Luftwaffe, Iraqi, British and Italian aircraft that were involved in the May, 1941 uprising of Iraq against the British. The German and Italian aircraft photos are of particular interest because they carrried Iraqi markings rather than German or Italian.
I would appreciate any additional photos of aircraft from this short, but interesting episode of the war.
Iraqi Savoia Marchetti SM 79B
Iraqi Gladiators
Iraqi Northrup A8-4
Iraqi Hawker Nisr
Iraqi DH 60M Moth
Iraqi DH 84 Dragon
Iraqi DH 80 Puss Moth
Iraqi Hawker Audax
Iraqi Breda Ba 65
Luftwaffe Ju 52
Luftwaffe ZG 76 Bf 110s
ZG 76 pilot Martin Drewes and his radio operator.
RAF Gladiator pilot Sqt Bill Dunwoodie - shot down an ZG 76 Bf 110
ZG 76 Bf 110 captured by the British and restored. Named "Belle of Berlin".
Luftwaffe Ju 90B
Luftwaffe ZG 4 He 111
Italian SM 81 crash landed on Rhodes
Italian CR 42 ---- only known photo shows a portion of the fuselage.
RAF --- Habbaniya
Vickers Valencia
Bristol Bombay

Bristol Blenheim IV being guarded by Arabian militia
Airspeed Oxford light bomber
RAF Gloster Gladiator
Gloster Gladiator N2287 GO-E
RAF DC-2 Troop Transport from Eqypt at Habbaniya

Your help will be appreciated.
