US Naval Aviation Training Division Consolidated PBY Catalina - World War II Patrol Bomber Flying Boat aeroplane Aeroplane identification poster 63x47cm A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have several in this series - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view. The Consolidated PBY Catalina was an American flying boat used in anti-anti-submarine warfare, patrol bombing, convoy escorts, search and rescue missions (especially air-sea rescue), and cargo transport. The PBY was the most numerous aircraft of its kind and the last active military PBYs were not retired from service until the 1980s.

    Nat Harrison Magician: Work Carefully Avoid Scrap Accidents Sometimes Happen Original poster c. 1943 Printed for HMSO by J Weiner Ltd, London for the Ministry of Aircraft Production The waste-not-want-not campaign of World War 2 in the UK had to tackle waste at all levels.
