The problem with pictures is that its wrong(illegal) to use them without permission. I dont know how they have handeld it with the picures allready in the game.

Some of the pic's are old, from the original SP2 mod. I tried to use public documents or got permission( Airforce museeum, SPHF and KÖMS)
And with an armed forces public relations department who believes professionalism means making money rather than further public relations one should be wary.
(They already sued one private museum)
As I was told, photos from official documents/books without a specific copyright or noted cameraman are considered to be public.
The resoning is that he who took the photo was employed by the armed forces and it was part of his job to photo. When a photographers is mentioned,
he owns the artistic rights for a long time (70? years)
The sad thing is that you can't find non copyrighted photos in modern manuals.
(I was tempted to use some of the Straw-men used in manuals from 50-60ies but refrained)
And I'm very pleased if any one cares to update OB66 past 2000
