BRITISH ROYAL AIR FORCE Vs THE JAPANESE AT PORT BLAIR

Share


Hi, friends! 


Here’s sharing with you this very rare & mesmerizing historic picture of a poster that I’ve collected from the Andaman & Nicobar Administration’s archives at Port Blair. 


The title of the poster is – “Smash Japanese Aggression!”




This dramatic British poster depicts the scene described above the title: "Thirteen Japanese flying-boats were smashed in a heavy Royal Air Force raid on the harbour of Port Blair in the Andaman Islands". 


The artist of the poster is - Roy Nockolds.


Date: 1943.


Size: 20" x 30" 


Condition: Very good still with two small edge tears that have been repaired.
