"Very old (WWI) German photograph" is insufficient - very likely not published in the US at first due to the fact that is - as the uploader stated - a photograph from Germany. There is unfortunately no final evidence for a PD status High Contrast (talk) 00:32, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
- Fair enough - "old German photograph" was much too vague. With a bit of research however - I have determined that the photo in question has been published many times. The earliest I can confirm is in the 1919 edition of Janes All the World's aircraft. In view of this I really don't think it is likely that this 98 year old photograph has any likely copyright problems, really!! --Soundofmusicals (talk) 01:57, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
How could {{PD-UK-unknown}} apply? The author must have been a German serviceman. What certain evidence can be brought out of those various sources where this image "has been publish many times"? --High Contrast (talk) 10:15, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
