CENTURY

Went to the local Sunday markets and bought a small book titled CENTURY with many interesting photos from the 20th century. The captioning is lacking in quality but I'm willing to forgive them as the price tag was only $4.00.

Titled "German aircraft dogfighting over Rotterdam with Dutch Fokker G-21s."
Fake?...



Italian Fiat "Human cannon" of 1922...



(More if you're interested)

Looks like there's some cool photos in there...

But I don't know about that "dogfight"...the aircraft are all lined up, and seem too close (bunched up)...

G-21's?
I've never heard of photo's of that particular dogfight. It looks like being faked. I don't think there was a D.XXI present at that time like the 2nd one form the right. If these are real images of that dogfight (even a combined one) it would be unique.
