Description

During the Second World War, to lighten the pressures of production for civil resources and thus allow greater resources to be pulled into war-related production, most governments around the world put great emphasis on the need to recycle and reuse. This particular poster highlights the different uses of salvage (recycling) within a Vickers Wellington aircraft.
