World War II Print Ads - Boulton-Paul

Sat Sep 02, 2017 8:47 pm

World War II print ads.
These ads abounded during World War II and were used reinforce brand awareness while a company was supporting the war effort instead of being able to provide consumer goods.
Nearly all these images are from the collection of Benoit De Mulder. Thank you Benoit for sharing these with us.

I had a good look at the sole remaining BP Defiant in a hangar at RAF St Athan in 1964.

It struck me as rather 'fuzzy logic' to build a fighter that can only efficiently shoot something else down when it was running away from it.

Good old British typical WWI thinking.
