B02943 Accession Number: B02943

Description

Captured German aircraft at an enemy aerodrome after the Australian Light Horse had taken possession. An Albatros DVa serial D5359 (foreground) and a DFW CV serial 4432 is in the background. An Albatros DVa is visible to the right hand side of the image. There is some confusion over whether the airfield is Jenin or El Afule. It is most likely El Afule. See also B02840 and B02870.
