This WWII poster features a Royal Air Force (RAF) Spitfire plane flying over a Royal Navy aircraft carrier in the sea. While the artist is unknown, the poster was printed in England by J. Howitt and Son Ltd. The slogan was used in another design of the poster featuring a tank. The image of the plane and aircraft carrier was used in another series of posters to promote the British war effort. The repeated use of the image and slogan in different formats speaks to forms of efficient cultural production during the War.
