EDITORS COMMENTS
A Piece of Cake: WW2-Era Comic Postcard Depicting an Easy Fight (Circa 1940) This charming WW2-era comic postcard, featuring the expression "A Piece of Cake," was a term used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) to describe an effortless victory in the skies above. Through the window of the aircraft, we catch a glimpse of an aeroplane engaged in a seemingly uncomplicated dogfight. The year was 1940, marking the height of the Battle of Britain, a pivotal moment in the Second World War. The scene is further enlivened by a heartfelt message from the British Prime Minister, who urged his people to "stand together and hold firm." A lucky black cat, a symbol of good fortune, looks on from the edge of the frame, adding a touch of whimsy to the image. The postcard's light-hearted tone is further emphasized by the presence of cute kids, who are seen enjoying a moment of innocence amidst the chaos of war. A caricature of a little girl offering tea to a sergeant adds a delightful touch of humour to the scene. This postcard, published by Raphael Tuck and Co., is a testament to the resilience and spirit of the British people during a time of great adversity. The artwork, credited to an unknown artist, beautifully captures the essence of wartime humour and serves as a reminder of a bygone era.
