Near a Luftwaffe’s transport aircraft Junkers Ju 52 (“Tante Ju”/Aunt Ju for the German aviators) an Italian made car Fiat 500, the popular “Topolino” (Little Mouse but for the Italian public “Topolino” is Mickey Mouse), with the Red Cross emblem over the doors. The Topolino” is likely a former Italian Armed Forces car commandeered by the Germans after the Italy’s armistice (8 September 1943). Location and date unknown. Victor Sierra

Shut-down Heinkel

This aerial view of five Luftwaffe’s Messerschmitt Bf 109 taking-off from a North African airfield give a meaningful idea of the operational conditions in the presence of the thin desert’s sand and dust raised at the smallest air’s movement (imagine the propeller’s blow!). Note the plane on the left fully run by the sand clouds raised by in front aircrafts: a delight for the visibility and for propeller and aircraft’s forward section, although the anti-sand filter is able to preserve the engine.
