WWII Aerial Photography Resource for the Devs

Hey there

I’m sure the devs are already aware of this but I figured I would share it here just in case. The National Collection of Aerial Photography (NCAP) has a fantastic map based search that contains aerial reconnaissance photos from the war. Not all of it is digitized, for example the UK appears to be largely missing. Fortunately almost all of Western Europe including the entire area of the Normandy 2 map is available for viewing online.

Here are some samples of what’s available.

You can reference these photos to ensure that the airfields, towns, marshaling yards, and any other terrain object is correctly located and constructed. I hope the devs find this helpful and I can’t wait to fly on the map!
