oamotme Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Lorenzo, From the Spanish no smoking sign - and assuming the photos are taken in Spain, the award could be the Spanish Order of Aeronautical Merit? Regards, Owain
Dave Danner Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 The officer on the left appears to be a Teniente General (Lt. Gen.) of the Spanish Air Force, so I'd go with Owain's suggestion. Regards
Guest IMHF Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Owain and Dave Thank you very much for the I.D. Help I have added this information to my notes. I will make tabes for each photo to tell the story of this Iraqi AF Officer's Life I was lucky to find this album for my collection very costly but well worth it. Thank you Lorenzo
Guest IMHF Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Well it appears in this photo that they were stepping off the plan onto Spain soil? Lorenzo
Guest IMHF Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Here is an older Photo that is in the complete album. Lorenzo
Herr General Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Thair standing next to an unknown officer Lorenzo I have seen the man on the right before. I think that he was a tribe or even close family member of Saddam..
Guest IMHF Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Here is another photo from the Iraqi AF officer’s Album sitting in the chair is an unknown Iraqi Ministry of Defense Officer. Lorenzo
Guest IMHF Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Here are a few members in this photo I do not recognize; you can see that the prior owner album before me is in the photo. Lorenzo
bmsm Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Some sort of Staff meeting Lorenzo Lorenzo, Isn't the officer in the front row, left side wearing the Al Bakir University Badge on a hanger on his left pocket? This is the badge in my book on page 125. Bob

Guest IMHF Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Very interesting photos Lorenzo. Thank you for posting them. I really like this historical grouping. Thank you Paul but I think I could have done better with putting them all in order, I just post them after scanning and chopping them down. Thank you for viewing Lorenzo
Guest IMHF Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Bob Here are some more photos from the album where the Al Bakr Badge is being worn. Lorenzo
Guest IMHF Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Hello Everyone I am looking for the club member that sent me an email regarding color touch ups for these photos I have posted. I want thank you for taking the time to make the images stand out from the original scans and yes I could use the help to crop them to look great on the GMIC. -I had lost your Email you had sent me and I am trying to get in contact with you, I hope I can find you this way. Thank you very much, Note: I did not want to make the scans in full detail because I paid a lot of money for the original Photo album and I don’t want others to use my images for their gain. Lorenzo
