Description
Two Wildcat and VAL identification posters Original posters classified as RESTRICTED, measuring 45.5 x 60.5 cm (unframed), published by the US Naval Aviation Training Division in March and October 1943. This date appears beneath the 3D view of each aircraft. Two enemy brothers face to face: the first shows the Japanese Aichi Type 99 ‘VAL’ dive bomber, whilst the second depicts the famous American F4F Wildcat fighter, which served as the naval aviation’s front-line fighter at the start of the conflict before its successor, the F6F Hellcat, made its debut. These posters were displayed in training schools and on the walls of bases in combat zones, as well as in briefing rooms, so that aircrew could familiarise themselves with the silhouettes of Allied or enemy aircraft whilst in flight. This type of poster is relatively rare. In very good condition.
