Rokko Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hi everyone, http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/history/battlehonours/northwesteurope/theorne.htm at the very bottom of this article there is an awesome aerial photography of the Adrennes-Authie-Cussy-Buron area. Does anyone know where I can find a higher resolution version of this or maybe even one showing a larger portion of this area? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 There is a French Geoportal site that has aerials from about 1947. I had to use Google Chrome to translate the text on site and play around with the map quite a bit before I could figure it out.

Rokko Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Nah I know those of course. But these are high altitude images and their resolution isn't that great either. The one I mean is pretty low altitude and, even better, it's from 1944! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 You're thinking of the 1:26000 aerials, like in the photo on the site that you have linked to. However, I found a set of aerials in the Buron area and south west of it from 1945 that is 1:6980, considerably lower altitude than the 1:26000. Only problem is they want 20 Euro per picture. If you're still interested, the photo set id is 1512-0131 and is dated 31/12/45. Have Google Chrome translate the page, use the Back in Time button on the map, then adjust the sliders to the appropriate time frame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
