Need help finding High Res Border War Photos

Recommended Posts

Hey CA!  Does anyone know of any websites to look at that would have bigger/high res South African Border War photographs that could work for Menu screens?  Google Image search only comes up with very tiny images which are no good for menu screens

 

Ive found some bigger photos on the official SAAF website but these are of static museum aircraft and very few period shots taken in the '65-89 period.

 

Do people mind having in Game screen shots as the background of the menus?  I know that the "Modern Warfare" campaigns use these...

Much more like those are available at the following web address: http://kplanes.tumblr.com/post/132232389950/k-planes-episode-87-die-kaplyn

At that site there are some good wartime color photos there of aircraft on the flight line, on sortie, and as wrecks on the ground

 

I also have some PDFs with a handful of good color photos which I can send, but all my print books on the Border War's aerial element only have photos in black and white

Below are links to the PDFs I mentioned ealier. One is a scan of an old SADF brochure that has some good color photos of SAAF aircraft and ground crew along with photos from other SADF service branches. The other is a scan of an old Osprey book on Mirage IIIs. It has a few photos of SAAF Mirage IIIs in flight, but there is a really bad dot matrix effect going on with the scan that makes all the color photos look weird
