{{unknown}} Is this image really PD? According to [1] it "may be distributed or copied for non-commercial purposes". --Ahellwig 10:50, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

They claim noncommercial use only, but as a military organization they are part of the Government and cannot claim any copyrights. I believe that these images are PD, even though the site text states otherwise. (Many museums, for example, also have a copyright notice for old paintings, which is not applicable either) -- Chris 73 | Talk 04:40, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
