Yes ! No limit for other / more good photos (could be 2-3 without a problem I think), but basically, Yes..!
Let's provide the real source "behind" "imageshack", when using this tool, please, thanks.

Dieter Zinke has added a few top quality photos directly to the initial postings. Dietrich, Ritter von Greim, Hitzfeld, Kammhuber. I have added one Grislawski. We could use this method for a number of persons. No limit of course to go on and post independently 2nd or 3rd additions for persons already listed. The main thing is, the link listing system on page 1 concentrates the pics of one person.

Here are further AHF threads which directly will be used for an entry on the database. They contain standard and reference pics, top quality pics, even unique shots, and quite a big number of pics. Apart from common replies, please go on there with photo additions.
