About the Item
Bold, direct, and visually unified, this WWII-era aviation safety poster delivers a clear and essential message: “Always Fasten Safety Belt.” Two hands extend toward the center of the image, locking a bright yellow harness into place. The oversized buckle at the center is rendered in crisp detail, anchoring the composition with a sense of urgency and stability. Radiating lines and angled typography emphasize the action in progress, turning a basic safety habit into a visual command.
Issued by the Directorate of Air Traffic and Safety and the Directorate of Safety Education, this poster was part of a series designed to instill critical flight habits among thousands of rapidly trained WWII pilots and crew members. Its high-impact composition ensured that the reminder to buckle up — simple as it seems — would be noticed, remembered, and followed.
The design leans into wartime modernism, using limited color, bold shapes, and airbrushed shadows to maximize legibility. Rather than show consequences, the poster promotes the correct action, reinforcing the importance of preparation and responsibility in flight.
This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster was printed on heavyweight paper and is in excellent condition apart from slight toning at folds.
We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.
