EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WW2 poster invites the public to the Britains Aircraft Exhibition held on the bombed site of the John Lewis department store in Oxford Street, London, in 1945. Amid the ruins of the war, the Ministry of Information encourages Londoners and visitors to come and see "actual planes and hundreds of other exhibits" for free. The poster's bold design, featuring a blue, white, and black color palette, highlights the RAF planes soaring in the sky against a backdrop of destruction. The poster's text reads, "Admission Free," offering a glimmer of hope and normalcy amid the chaos of the war. The Britains Aircraft Exhibition was a significant event during the 1940s, providing the public with a rare opportunity to witness the aircraft that played a crucial role in the war effort. The exhibition showcased a diverse range of planes from the Royal Air Force, offering a glimpse into the world of flight and transport during wartime. The poster's image of planes flying against the backdrop of destruction serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the British people during WW2. The exhibition provided a much-needed distraction from the daily hardships of the war and offered a sense of pride and hope for the future. This poster is a valuable historical artifact that offers insights into the spirit of the British people during WW2 and the importance of preserving history for future generations. The image of planes flying in the sky remains a symbol of freedom, hope, and the human spirit, even amid the darkest of times.
