Hi Brent, could I please have permission to use your photos in an article I'm writing about the German pilot who flew this aircraft? Thanks

Hi Brent, I am an author of a book about captured German planes (www.vintageeagle.com). I am trying to get in touch with you. Thanks.

Yes. I'm pretty sure it's towards the end of the war

OP didn't say he was an American mechanic.

He's wearing American gear so it'd be weird if he wasn't. People don't generally work in their enemies attire

Sorry, I didn't look that close at his uniform. Is he still alive?
