World War 1 Repro Poster

Join the Royal Air Force

by F. R.

Britain’s Royal Air Force was formed in April 1918 and was the world’s first independent air force.

This recruiting poster for the new service, published in Dublin, presents a fanciful depiction of aerial combat, exchanging the Western Front for rural Ireland and promising action and adventure for potential recruits.

It belies the grim reality of aerial warfare; fledgling aviation technology and limited protection for pilot and aircraft accounting for huge loss of life on both sides.

A smart picture framed in an A4 (29.7 x 21 cm, 11.7 x 8.3 inch) size frame.

The picture offered does NOT have the "SAMPLE" watermark!!
