Description
English: Royal Air Force- 2nd Tactical Air Force, 1943-1945.
An RAF officer examines pieces of wreckage from the first German jet fighter to be shot down by the RAF, as Royal Engineers prepare to drain water from the crater left by its impact in a field south-west of Nijemegen, Holland, in the search for further remains. The aircraft, a Messerschmitt Me 262 flown by Hauptmann Hans-Christoff Buttman of 1./KG(J) 51, had fallen to a patrol of five Supermarine Spitfire Mark IXs of No. 401 Squadron RCAF, led by Squadron Leader R I A Smith, on the previous day.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
