Name this aircraft!

This is the latest postkarte I picked up, I have never seen a photo of this aircraft before, especially flying. It had me stumped for a while, I couldn’t work out what it was. A bit of research revealed the answer, but does anyone else know what it is?

Researching named militaria - World War 2 + One World War 1 object

I thought I’d throw all my named objects which had serial numbers and hope for the best. If you have any idea how to research it further, please let me know:

I used the printer for most of these things, and I have to say the results are pretty good.

First up we have the World War 1 item: An American canteen(More pictures in this thread: http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/ww1-al…canteen-28098/ ):

As far as I can see, it says:
S-1207
Smith Rosewellt
Unreadable

Pipes for FJs

I thought this interesting. Were these pipes handed out to the FJs for their service? I guess a smoke on your way to earth may be relaxing. Any info on these pipes and card would be appreciated.

German propaganda: Channel islands newspapers under occupation

German propaganda in a different form this time. These are my collection of English language newspapers from the Island of Guernsey, produced under occupation and therefore the mouthpiece of the Third Reich. I have one paper from Apr 21 1943 shown in this post. I also have originals from June 16, 19, 21, 23, and26 1944 that give the "official" view from the German Supreme Command. I think they make interesting reading.

I have scanned some of the more interstesting acticles. Nice acticle on the Tiger. Enjoy..

First off is Apr 21 1943 …..
