            Looks like a Stuka.

                Thanks again mjfur, especially for the ID on the Spitfire! Great to see that this photo was actually taken close in Adinkerke, Belgium. More info can be found here and on Wikipedia.

                Here's some more...

                #26 - Crash site in Belgium or France.

                  #27 - This could very well be the Eastern Front, but I am curious which type of German airplane this is.

                    With the angled wings, fixed wheels and the rectangle tail wings I'd say a Stuka again.

                    Chris.
