[MENTION=1829]Pvt_Larry[/MENTION] I don't, unfortunately; I found it on a site dedicated to photos from the war, but with no caption.

Robert Rowan blows after being bombed by Ju 88s off Gela, Sicily, 1943.
IMHO, after Normandy and the break out from Normandy, TW ought to move to the Italian and Sicilian campaigns. You'll already have the Americans (assuming you portray the US sector of Normandy), Brits, and Germans done; an Italian faction isn't immediately necessary. Aside from, perhaps, a few changes in weaponry and uniforms (for example, Germans won't be using Lebels), you really just need new maps and a few other bits and bobs. I know we're talking about eons from now, but I'm just saying.

German troops inspect a downed French fighter, France, 1940. I believe it's a Koolhoven F.K.58, which is interesting, seeing as they only built twenty and only one is thought to have been shot down. Perhaps this is that one? The F.K.58s of the Armée de l'Air were piloted by Poles under Walerian Jasionkowski. They conducted a mere 47 sorties during the battle of France, and have no recorded kills.
Of course, I could be totally wrong and it's a P-36
I'm pretty sure it's an F.K.58 though, based on the engine cowling, among other things.

What you have there is actually a Bloch MB. 150 series fighter plane. It is a bit similar to the F.K.58, but the engine cowling of the F.K.58 is smooth, amoung other differences.

I stand corrected! I swear I saw a photo of an F.K.58 with the same ridges on the engine cowling. I now see the lack of a curve in the rudder, though. Thanks for the correction! All hail the Dragon!
Those are Canadian and you are in Normandy. Although the house confuses me with its German style, made me think of north eastern France near German border.

Well boy did I screw that one up. Guess I didn't look very closely. Thanks, Siben.
