| Try a local library. They may have a scanner. Or else someone at work or a friend.

| Depending on the quality of the shot from a digital camera you maybe able to enlarge it but as you enlarge it the quality of the shot can be reduced. If you post it I will give it a shot though there are some around here that are much better at it then me.

| I agree with Micdrow.Try to take as better shots as you can and then upload these here.We will try to work it out of what type the plane was.

| starling, either post them or send in an email - I can manipulate photos for you. Clean them up, etc.

| I'm sure pro photographers can give you better advice, but here is what I would do: Set your camera on "Macro" (Little flower symbol) for a close up shot. Get good non-reflective lighting, but lots of it on the subject. Try not to do it hand held. Use a tripod or some other kind of brace. Get it nice and square to reduce distortion. Take a bunch of shots, especially if you don't have a steady support. (Not a particularly good photographer) - Ivan. |

 | Nice pic! He's not sitting in a Bf 109 though, that's an Fw 190. I cannot tell what type though.
