EDITORS COMMENTS
Wings for Victory: A Call to Action from the National Savings Committee during World War II This evocative flier, dated circa 1941, is a poignant reminder of the collective spirit and unwavering determination of the British people during the tumultuous years of World War II. The National Savings Committee, an integral part of the home front effort, launched the 'Wings for Victory' campaign to encourage citizens to save money and invest in war bonds. The image on the flier depicts a young woman, her gaze fixed on the sky, as she reaches out to touch the wings of a Spitfire fighter plane. The plane, emblematic of the Royal Air Force (RAF), symbolizes the power and might of the Allied forces. The caption, 'The Skies the Limit,' underscores the limitless potential of the savings campaign and the collective ability of the British people to support their military forces from the home front. The National Savings Committee's 'Wings for Victory' campaign was a powerful and effective propaganda tool that tapped into the patriotic fervor of the British public. The campaign's message was clear: every penny saved and invested in war bonds was a contribution to the war effort and a step towards victory. This poignant flier serves as a testament to the resilience and unity of the British people during wartime and the enduring power of collective action.
