About the Item

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a... very large teenage boy appearing out of the clouds? Villa created this powerful image to encourage young people to practice light aviation—an initiative prompted by the Popular Aviation Service, which was created in 1936 by the Ministry of Air and organized by Jean Moulin. Interestingly, Geo Ham created a promotion for the Ministry a year later, which was clearly inspired by Villa's design. Let's follow the young people who want the whole of France conquered by aviation - XVth Air Show
