VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement or informational poster for Vickers-Armstrongs Limited, showcasing two iconic British aircraft from the World War II era: the Supermarine Spitfire and the Vickers Wellington bomber. The top half of the image features three Spitfires in flight formation with annotations indicating that "THE FIRST BRITISH DEFENSIVE AIR ACTION OF THE WAR WAS SUCCESSFULLY CARRIED OUT BY THE RAF OCT-1939. " Below this trio of fighters is an image of a single Wellington bomber with text stating "THE FIRST BRITISH OFFENSIVE AIR ACTION OF THE WAR WAS SUCCESSFULLY CARRIED OUT BY THE RAF SEPT-1939. " The bottom portion of the poster prominently displays the name "VICKERS-ARMSTRONGS LIMITED" along with a subtitle reading "AVIATION WORKS AT WEYBRIDGE AND SUPERMARINE WORKS, SOUTHAMPTON. " This indicates that these aircraft were manufactured by Vickers-Armstrongs at their aviation facilities in Weybridge and Southampton. Overall, this historical image serves as both an advertisement for Vickers-Armstrongs' contributions to wartime aviation manufacturing and a commemorative piece highlighting significant early actions taken by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II using these British-engineered airplanes.
