The adverts in this section (many of which are aimed at the wartime aircraft industry itself) celebrate the achievements of the RAF, Coastal Command and the makers of the then-current aircraft manufacturing technology, both in the UK and in Europe and the US. Dates are from early flight (advertising ‘meetings’) to the advent of the jet age with the Gloster Meteor and the Canberra, etc. Images are not presented in chronological order. One or two ads from Rolls Royce are borderline acceptable in terms of image quality (they came from a poor-quality source), but are nevertheless included here for being interesting and dynamic graphics.
