Back Them Up!
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Stirring Tribute to the Heroes of the RAF in World War II This evocative RAF poster from the 1940s, titled "Back Them Up!", is a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination of the Royal Air Force (RAF) pilots during World War II. The image captures the intensity and danger of aerial combat, as a British Spitfire fighter plane engages in a dogfight with a German bomber. The Spitfire, a symbol of British aeronautical prowess, is depicted in a nose dive, its cannon bullets tearing through the air, ready to bring down the enemy. The backdrop of this dramatic scene is a vast, stormy sky, filled with swirling clouds and the telltale trails of planes. The smoke from the German bomber, which is on fire and in its final moments, adds to the sense of urgency and conflict. The RAF roundel, the distinctive emblem of the Royal Air Force, is proudly displayed on the side of the Spitfire, a testament to the unwavering commitment of the British forces. The text below the image reads, "Transport and Travel by Air. Back Them Up!" This call to action reminds the public of the importance of supporting the RAF and the role it played in the transportation and travel of goods and personnel during the war. The poster serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the RAF during the 1940s, and the crucial role they played in the outcome of World War II. This image, from the National Aerospace Library at The Royal Aeronautical Society, is a must-have for any aviation or military history enthusiast. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the RAF and the indomitable spirit of those who served during the war.
