Daily eBay scan - Caproni Ca 310 ´507´ at Stavanger-Sola

As part of a larger collection of Fallschirmjäger photographs obviously sourced from an album, the seller 100-years-of-history has a couple of really crisp photographs of the Caproni Ca 310 with callsign ´507´. Having seen a lot of Caproni photographs through the years there is really nothing new here, but the quality of the prints looks to be very good indeed as a basis for detailed research.

The rest of the photographs in the selection give an interesting view of the preparations and inflight photographs of the Ju 52 transporters bringing the Fallschirmjäger towards Norway and Denmark on April 9th 1940.

Paratroopers preparing for the invasion. Nothing very military about the suitcase they seem to be packing.
