EDITORS COMMENTS
You can help to build me a plane, WW2" is a powerful and evocative poster from the 1940s, calling on men to join the war effort and learn quickly to build planes for the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II. The poster, which was likely produced by the British government to encourage employment and boost morale, features a determined man in a leather helmet and goggles, pointing directly at the viewer, as if to say "you" can make a difference. The background is filled with the image of a plane taking off, its propellers churning up the ground below. The text of the poster reads, "You can help to build me a plane, WW2. You can learn quickly and you will be working to win. Ask at any employment exchange for advice and full details. A job is waiting for you." The use of the first-person pronoun "me" in the title and the imperative verb tenses in the text create a sense of urgency and personal responsibility. The poster reflects the spirit of the time, when the fate of the world hung in the balance and every effort was needed to support the war effort. It also speaks to the importance of skilled labor and the idea that anyone, regardless of their background or experience, could make a valuable contribution to the war effort by learning to build planes. Overall, "You can help to build me a plane, WW2" is a compelling and inspiring example of propaganda art from the 1940s, reminding us of the sacrifices and determination that were required to win the war.
