Very rare wartime aircraft poster
This poster is basically a reproduction of J.H Clark's cutaway drawing of a Lancaster I for "The Aeroplane". It was produced for the Ministry of Aircraft Production and it seems to have been a morale booster intended to be put up in factories producing the aircraft, or parts for it. Notice the box headed "This is what YOU are making" which has not been filled in.
It measures approximately 39.5" x 24 3/4" (100cm x 63cm).
It is quite delicate (wartime paper) and has some damage around the edges - look carefully at the photograph. The steel rulers you can just see are to hold it flat for photography and not included in the sale.
The postage cost is quite high because I will roll it in a very strong (and heavy) cardboard tube.
