EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage WW2 greetings card from the 1940s is a true piece of history, capturing the spirit and patriotism of the time. The inside fold-out illustration features a Royal Air Force man in his iconic blue uniform, saluting proudly against a backdrop of British fighter planes and the unmistakable R.A.F. target symbol. But what truly sets this card apart is the unexpected twist - the lion has wings! A symbol of strength and courage, the winged lion embodies the bravery and determination of those who served during World War II.
In a time when Britain faced immense challenges and uncertainty, this card would have been a welcome token of support and solidarity for loved ones serving overseas or on the home front. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by so many during wartime, as well as a testament to the resilience and unity that defined that era.
As we look back on this piece of wartime memorabilia, we are reminded not only of the hardships endured but also of the unwavering spirit that carried people through those difficult times. The Lion Has Wings indeed - soaring above adversity with courage and grace.
