Description

WWII Aircraft Recognition Poster, P 80 Shooting Star (G.E). Identification/Recognition Poster from the 1940’s, printed by Fosh and Cross Ltd. Shows the silhouette of the plane from the front, underside and side. Good used condition for their age, but with some minor edge tears and creasing. These would have been used in training schools and also found in Mess huts on active RAF bases.

This poster shows the P 80 Shooting Star (G.E), the first American combat-ready jet fighter when it went into service in 1945. The XP-80 was designed and built in the amazing period of only 143 days—37 days less than the original schedule, by Clarence "Kelly" Johnson at Lockheed Corporation American aerospace company.
