I posted a list of links to some images over in the reference forum. Included among them are many shots of aircraft, mostly WWII German stuff as well as some Russian and British ‘war prizes’ and derelicts. There’s also a very few images of WWI aircraft…
You’ll have to sort through them, as there are many non-aviation related images as well…

Looked through some of them Steve-O… will have to look at more later (stupid dial up!).
Some pretty nice period images in there, Steve. Looks like a collection of family photographs to me. Very nice.
Supergroovy. I’m diggin’ 'em.
Thanks!
Interesting pics. Thanks for posting.

Wow - mate, where do you come up with all this? There’s some really great shots there - like they’re all happy snaps someone made with a box brownie - fantastic.
Thanks, Blackwolf
Here’s another set of images, although I believe that these are mostly, if not completely, aircraft related. And this time the directory is accessible…

Leetree,
I find alotta this stuff by accident, really. This particular set of images I found because one of them was posted on another forum. Another way to find images is to browse evilbay and see what photos are for sale. Often times they’re tiny images, but now and again you’ll find someone who has large images posted in their auctions.
Anyhoo, you may already know this, but I’ll explain it for whoever may not…
If you see an image posted somewhere, anywhere, you can usually use the image URL to back-track to the directory where the image is stored simply by removing the image name.
Often times, as in this case, the directory itself is not accessible to anyone but the ‘owner’ of said directory and most folks would just give up. But, seeing that the image name was composed of numbers, I set about to find any other images which might be in the directory by replacing the numbers of the image name in the URL.
For example, the URL of the image which I saw posted was:
http://www.bensterer.de/Sven/146.jpg
I then replaced the ‘146’ with ‘001’, which didn’t work, so I then tried ‘01’ and came up with:
http://www.bensterer.de/Sven/01.jpg
Then it was simply a matter of changing the numbers to see each image. Some numbers were skipped, hence the gaps.
If the name of the image is composed entirely of words or letters and no numbers, than this method isn’t worth it unless you have no life and all the time in the world.
But if there’s a number in there somewhere, you can usually run with it pretty easily. Often times there’s not much to be found. However, in this instance, I just lucked out and found a small treasure trove…
