Well, WWI, but a must-know.


A naughty one...:D



A gritty one :D



And the household favourite (Since I am the only male, surrounded with ladies, poor myself :D)





It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

This used to be up on the old Consolidated Aircraft Plant in San Diego during the war.  A lady near my parents was selling it at her garage sale and she got it from her mother that used to work at the plant during the war.  Because the poster was old, the lady had it set on a tin panel to try and preserve it.

It was aimed at keeping days off at a minimum so production levels wouldn't drop at the plant.

You can see the authenticity of the one Ack-Ack posted.    You'll note the tin along the sides, not visible on the "replicas".   Not to mention the corners curling.
