EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking WW2 poster from 1944, produced by the British Air Ministry, depicts a cross-section view of a German Flying Bomb, or Doodlebug, during its ominous flight. The ominous shadow cast by the weapon's menacing wings underscores the sense of danger and hazard it posed during the Second World War. The internal workings of the Doodlebug are revealed, showing its engine and fuel tanks, as well as the pilot's compartment. The poster serves as a stark reminder of the deadly weapons used during the conflict, and the constant threat of air raids that loomed over the United Kingdom during the 1940s. The ominous caption, "Danger! Keep clear of flying bombs," warns of the potential danger to civilians and the importance of staying alert and evacuating when necessary. This historical artifact offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insight into the internal workings of a weapon that played a significant role in the air warfare of WW2.
