See how your salvage helps a bomber: scrap metal, waste paper, waste rubber, bones
Description
Depicting a Vickers Wellington bomber, this poster is designed to show the value of waste metal, waste paper, waste rubber and bones in the making of a bomber aircraft. This poster was all part of a series of campaigns such as 'Saucepans for Spitfires' that encouraged Britons to recycle and boost morale by making them feel like they were actively playing a role in the war effort.
