A vertical rectangular poster features a painterly illustration of a wartime supply drop in a tropical, mountainous landscape. In the upper center, a twin-engine transport plane flies toward the right, while four parachutes carry supplies down toward a rugged, sunlit valley. In the foreground, four men are depicted: two men in the center stand with their backs to the viewer, one wearing a light-colored shorts with a knife tucked under his belt; the other in light brown clothes and raising his right arm toward the plane. In the right lower corner, a man faces the viewer and wears a green military-style shirt and a wide-brimmed hat; on the lower left, two men with helmets appear emerging from the bottom edge of the image, as if climbing to the group from the valley in the background. Lush green and yellow tropical foliage frames the right side of the scene. The bottom portion of the poster contains a white horizontal band with the text "Air support" in a small red script, followed by "QANTAS EMPIRE AIRWAYS" in large, bold red capital letters, and "Continuous Service" in a smaller black script at the very bottom.
