Total copies: 1
In World War Two information leaflets and posters proliferated. Soldiers were bombarded with field regulations, airmen with the latest updates about airborne early warning, bomb sights and radio navigation and sailors with material that helped them identify enemy aircraft and submarines and told them how to operate the new ship board weapons to destroy them. An abundance of familiar slogans exhorted the population to do the utmost: 'Go To IT!', 'Come Into The Factories', 'Keep Calm and Carry On', 'Dig For Victory', 'Lend A Hand on the Land', 'Walk When You Can'. This book is concerned with the plethora of printed ephemera that was designed to educate, instruct, inform, and entertain.
