As well as the warning text and historical information, the poster depicts images of both German and British aeroplanes in silhouette, with their names.

Information: During World War II, Britain wanted all men and women to help win the war. Like the armed services, the people at home were asked to do their bit to help the war effort. The government used information propaganda posters, leaflets, film and radio broadcasts to get its message over to the public. Posters were put up in shops and shop windows, council buildings, train stations and village halls.

The poster warning reads: The public are advised to familiarise themselves with the appearance of British and German aeroplanes so that they may not be alarmed by British aircraft and may take shelter if German aircraft appear. Should hostile aircraft be seen, take shelter immediately in the nearest available shelter. Remain there until the aircraft have left the vicinity: do not stand about in crowds and do not touch unexploded bombs.

In the event of Hostile aircraft being seen in country districts the nearest Naval, Military or Police Authorities should, if possible, be advised immediately by telephone of the time of appearance, the direction of flight and number of aircraft.
