A rectangular poster features a black-and-white photograph set with red and black text. The central photograph depicts a Royal New Zealand Air Force pilot standing on the starboard wing of a fighter plane, likely a P-40 Kittyhawk, in front of a couple of palm trees. The pilot wears a light-colored flight suit and a life vest, looking upward and to the left with his hands in his trousers' hip pockets. The aircraft's propeller, nose, and part of the wings are visible. At the top of the poster, the word "NEW ZEALAND" appears in bold black sans-serif letters on a white rectangular block, followed by the word "Fights" written in a large, red, cursive script. At the bottom, a solid red horizontal bar contains the phrase "In Pacific Skies" in a matching black cursive font. A small color calibration strip is visible on the right edge of the photograph.
