VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image features a vintage advertisement encouraging the purchase of National Savings Stamps as a contribution to the war effort, specifically suggesting that buying these stamps helps fund ammunition for the Royal Air Force (RAF). The top portion shows an illustration of an airplane in combat, with a trail indicating it has just shot down another plane. Accompanying this is bold text stating "That's a present from an A. T. C. cadet. . . " which implies that even Air Training Corps cadets can contribute to military success through financial support. Below the illustration, there is detailed text explaining that machine gun bullets cost 6d (six pence) each and how purchasing National Savings Stamps can help buy these essential items for combat. It appeals to patriotic duty by mentioning potential future service in the RAF and emphasizes urgency by urging readers to sweep the Luftwaffe out of the sky. The bottom section reiterates the call-to-action with large font saying "BUY NATIONAL SAVINGS STAMPS" followed by pricing information: "6d - 2/6 - 5/-". This indicates different denominations available for purchase. Overall, this wartime propaganda piece combines graphic imagery and persuasive language to motivate citizens at home to financially support their country's military efforts during a time of conflict.
