Great pics. Any way to identify an individual pics?
There is one in there of  somone sitting in the cockpit of eithere a 109 or 190 (though Im guessing 109 because I saw no other pics of 190's there) that easily shows even from a side angle the rather good visibility,particularly over the nose and 10-2:00 positions .
Certainly better then we have in game.

I think you mean this picture. The pilots name is Achenbach. He died 1942 at the eastfront. The picture was taken 1940 during pilottraining.

edit: it should be a 109. But I am not very sure! On the left side of the cockpit you see a rotor very near. So maybe not a 109, but kind of plane with two props?

If you need more infos concerning the photos, please feel free to send me a pm.

Looks like an early Bf 110 to me.
