  English translation of description: "Aviation Accident. Two conflicting aircraft, which is on fire. The pilots can save with their parachute. Photo 1930, place unknown." This appears to be retouched, more a photomontage than a realistic depiction of a mid air collision. It's still a really great image though.

  Definitely a montage --one plane is the mirror image of the other. Some 'smoke' has been added. The picture of the two parachuting men was probably the original over which the 'two' planes were put. I struggle to recognize the aircraft type. I think it is either in British or American markings, but it looks more like a German WW I plane to me, a Rumpler perhaps. German types were known to have flown for the US Forces long after WW I. I'm thinking a plane used for Hollywood movies.

  Fake, if ever we saw one. Bemused passengers still on board?
