VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This historical document is a "Public Warning" poster from the World War I era, designed to educate the British public on how to distinguish between German and British aircraft. The top half of the poster contrasts silhouettes of German airships with those of their British counterparts, emphasizing differences in shape and design. Below, similar comparisons are made between aeroplanes from both nations. The text urges citizens to familiarize themselves with these profiles to avoid unnecessary panic when encountering friendly aircraft and advises immediate action—seeking shelter and avoiding unexploded bombs—if hostile planes are spotted. This piece serves as a stark reminder of the wartime atmosphere where civilian involvement in defense efforts was crucial for national security.
