From the high seas to the open skies, servicing is a crucial part of ensuring the readiness of our military might. Sailors demonstrate the flag semaphore system, signaling orders aboard a ship, while ground crew attend to the mighty Republic P-47D Thunderbolt in a rural Essex airfield. The United States Air Force's Convair B-36D Peacemaker 44-92065 undergoes maintenance, its massive wings stretching out. In a different era, a Daimler R.I (G.I) 478/15 tank receives attention in a European workshop. Ruy Blas, in an illustration for Le Rire, captures the colorful world of servicing in the 19th century. The Yakovlev Yak-4 roars back to life as its engines are serviced, while a Messerschmitt Bf109E-1 is tended to in the field. The Supermarine Spitfire of the Desert Air Force is serviced with the same meticulous care at San Francisco International Airport as it was in the heart of the desert. London Airport in the 1950s buzzes with activity as planes, both civilian and military, are serviced and prepared for their next journey.
