Description
This vertical wartime propaganda poster features a central illustration of a pilot against a solid red background. The pilot, rendered in shades of yellow and dark blue, stands facing left with his head tilted upward and his right arm raised toward the sky. He wears a flight suit, and a pilot’s cap with goggles. In the upper left portion of the sky, three stylized white airplanes fly in formation. At the bottom of the poster, a single white airplane is parked on the ground behind the pilot. Two columns of large, stylized Chinese characters are positioned to the left of the pilot, and a smaller horizontal line of text is located at the very bottom center within a blue border. The Chinese characters on the left translate to "Outstanding youth, go to the air force." The small text at the bottom identifies the publisher as the "Military Affairs Commission Political Department."
