Rare large-format Royal Air Force lithograph poster, designed to train World War I pilots the basics of flight. With the Wright Brothers having only completed their public airshows a decade earlier, a mastery of aviation - let along combat flying, was uncharted territory. Poster entitled ''Bad Landing'' shows a British aircraft attempting to land at high speed, with a box at upper right reading, ''...the inexperienced pilot may momentarily 'lose his head'. Under these circumstances he will do well to get away again and have another try.'' Published by Air Technical Services, dated 26 April 1918. Two-tone lithograph measures 40'' x 27''. Light wear, and some spotting to right margin, overall very good plus condition.
