About the Item
This circa 1950 original poster by Wootton is an evocative call to arms, inviting individuals to "Join the Royal Air Force Regiment." Wootton, known for his work in military and aviation art, delivers a compelling image that captures the essence of strength and duty within the RAF Regiment.
The poster likely features a commanding visual, possibly depicting members of the RAF Regiment in action or a bold emblematic representation of the unit. The artwork emphasizes the critical role of the regiment in defending airbases and contributing to ground operations, highlighting their motto, "Per Ardua," meaning "Through Adversity."
Produced during a period when the RAF Regiment was solidifying its identity post-World War II, this poster serves both as a recruitment tool and a piece of motivational art. It aims to inspire a sense of patriotism and the allure of serving in a prestigious branch of the military.
Collectors and military history enthusiasts will appreciate this poster for its historical significance and artistic value. It represents a period of transition and growth for the RAF Regiment, making it a valuable artifact for those interested in mid-20th-century military propaganda and art. The poster’s striking design and call to action make it a powerful reminder of the era's recruitment strategies and the vital role of air force ground defense.

Frank Wootton
Studied at Eastbourne College of Art under Eric Ravilious, Wootton (sometimes misspelled Wooton) was a painter of a range of subjects, including landscapes and equestrian subjects, as well as the aviation images that he is best known for. The Canadian Museum of Flight described Frank Wootton as ‘The Dean of Aviation Art’. With a highly realistic style, Wootton took ‘great trouble’ to search for ‘technical and historical accuracy’. He was assigned as an official artist to the Royal Canadian Air Force and also painted designs for the RAF. He experienced firsthand the aircraft, pilots, ground crews, skyscrapers, and landscapes of the Second World War. A pioneer in ‘aviation art’, his work can be found in museums in Canada, Australia, the UK, and the United States. Frank Wootton was also an extraordinary landscape and equestrian artist. His love of horses was unparalleled and he became vice-president of the Society of Equestrian Artists.
