About the Item

To see our other original vintage aeroplane posters and photographs, scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller" - or send us a message if you cannot find the image you want. US Naval Aviation Training Division Royal Air Force Supermarine Spitfire - UK World War II aeroplane Aeroplane identification poster, 1943 63x47cm A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have several in this series - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view. The Spitfire requires no introduction to the reader. The saviour of Britain, the victor of the Battle of Britain (though in fact the Hurricane was more decisive). You can buy beer named Spitfire, everybody recognises the distinctive sound of the Merlin engine approaching.
