Description

This 1943 World War II poster by Leslie Ragan depicts the unity of Allied nations fighting against the Axis powers. The illustration features a dynamic display of flags from various Allied countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, China, and others, all flying in unison against a backdrop of dark smoke and flames, symbolizing the battles being fought. Naval ships and planes appear at the bottom of the poster, representing the military strength of the Allies. The bold heading "UNITED" and the message "The United Nations Fight for Freedom" highlight the solidarity among the Allied nations in their pursuit of victory and freedom.

The "United Nations" referred to here is an early use of the term, which would later formalize as an international organization in 1945.

(Cold War - Soviet Aircraft Identification) YAK 15

A detailed diagrammatic poster prepared by the Ministry of Supply in February of 1949, elucidating the specifications and design of the Yakovlev Yak-15 turbojet fighter. Towards the end of World War II, the Soviet Union started to develop jet planes. After the early Lyulka-produced engine proved unreliable, Stalin ordered aircraft engineers to turn to the Junkers JuMO-004 and BMW-003A engines. After peace treaties mandated German demilitarization, technical teams from Junkers and BMW, the most notable of which was Junkers' Ferdinand Brandner, were transferred to the Soviet Union for research and development. The Yak-15, itself based on the piston-engined Yak-3 to speed up development, was fitted with the reverse-engineered and modified JuMO-004, under the designation Klimov RD-10. A first batch of 50, all single-seaters, participated in a May Day flypast in 1947.
