Depends on a number of things: are they originals or copies; condition; have they been previously published; size; rarity of subject; can you identify particular aircraft; etc.
I suggest that you do a search on ebay for closed auctions to get an idea. |

A color picture of Voss' Dr.I would be priceless....
 To be more serious, the scope is enormous. From a few $ up to hundreds of $. There is no serious scale. Of course we are speaking of first-generations-prints, no repros or copies of copies. Anything Richthofen'ish will cost a fortune, any no name two-seater-pic of an unknown FAA will be affordable for 2 $. And it depends on if there is any clear information what is shown and when it is taken. Information-less pics are cheaper. H |

Hi Hans,
Such a colour photograph certainly would be priceless! I know from experience though that even if original First World War colour photography is presented as evidence, as I have in my thread about First World War British colours, it will be dismissed, despite what is proves or disproves because "the colours could have changed due to ageing". Regards, David. |

Fairly average prints of a typical nondescript aircraft, say, a not especially sharply in focus picture of Sopwith Strutter on an airfield for example, but in otherwise good condition, would go for about 15-20 quid (UK Sterling), possibly less than that. On the other hand, if you have an unknown or previously unpublished image which reveals or confirms something of interest for historians, you would be talking about a lot more money, since if you had the only copy of it, you could reserve the right of people to reproduce it in reference books and it would thus be worth a lot more for that reason alone.
Good large collections of images in photo albums, which are often largely unpublished or unknown can go for several thousand if they have good provenance, especially if dates, locations, people and aircraft can be identified. As with everything, it depends on the interest in the picture and rarity of what it depicts. Al
