Shown in flight above an open field, this German aircraft comes from a photo album titled *America's air victory over Germany*, where it appears on page 15. The print belongs to the collection of Ira Clarence Eaker, who commanded American bomber forces in Europe during the war. Albums like this were assembled to record the air campaign from the Allied side, and the record dates the print to about 1944, when Allied bombers were striking German industry and airfields across the continent.
