Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the early days of military aviation as British airmen of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) pose for the camera in 1914, on the brink of the First World War. The men, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, include Lietenant Playfair, Lieutenant Mills, Lieutenant Soames, Captain Board, Major Riley, Major Higgins, Lieutenant Jones, Lieutenant Gould, Lieutenant Small, and Lieutenant Anderson. The RFC, the precursor to the Royal Air Force (RAF), was formed in April 1912, marking the beginning of Britain's military aviation capabilities. These brave men were among the first to take to the skies in defense of their country, and their roles ranged from reconnaissance and observation to bombing raids and dogfights. The uniforms worn by the airmen in this photograph reflect their status as officers in the military. The RFC uniform consisted of a dark blue tunic with red piping, a white shirt, a red tie, and a peaked cap with a blue band and a red cap badge. The men are also wearing leather flying helmets and goggles, essential equipment for their dangerous missions in the open cockpits of early aircraft. As the world watched the events of the First World War unfold, these airmen played a crucial role in shaping the course of history. Their bravery and determination in the face of adversity paved the way for the development of military aviation and the eventual creation of the RAF in 1918. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their sacrifices and the important legacy they left behind.
