This photo was uploaded without a source, the uploader just stated "USAF". I located a recent (2007) USAF publication [1] which contains a version of this photo, with no reference to third parties ("courtesy photo" etc). Any views on its copyright status? Sv1xv (talk) 05:51, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
- I think it is probably okay the site's disclaimer says "AF.mil is provided as a public service by the Office of the Secretary of Air Force (Public Affairs). Information presented on AF.mil is considered public information and may be distributed or copied. Use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested.", in further searching I found it here and it is a U.S. Air Force photo. Looks okay for PD review, do you agree?

- Yes, they are different scans from the same or different prints from the same original negative. Sv1xv (talk) 13:44, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
- File:YB49-2 300.jpg says it is a crop of this image, but gives the accurate original source and license statement. The edwards.af.mil page is now gone, but a copy can be seen at archive.org. archive.org does not have a copy of the actual full image anymore but does have a smaller one. Seems OK.

- Ah... File:ΥΒ-49 bomber.jpg is a larger copy of the same image I think, with a still-active source. The image ID on that one identifies it as being taken by the Air Force, though the photographer is now unknown (it has the -F- in it, but the 9999J indicates they don't know who the photographer was). Definitely OK. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
- This is a new one, I just uploaded it from the page indicated by User:Rambo's Revenge. Sv1xv (talk) 14:04, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, right, sorry. I had started looking before his reply ;-) But yes, the photo was taken by the Air Force so should be OK.
