Owen Miller (Auckland 1907-London 1960) Instrument Bulletin No. 1 - Lancaster Bomber Our Target is Their Success Original poster c. 1943 Printed for HMSO by Multi Machine Plates Ltd for the Ministry of Aircraft Production In the last war our airmen were alone in the sky - dependent only on their wings and their wits.
