Mightier yet Accession Number: ARTV02229

Description

This British Second World War poster was produced in England to highlight the might and power of the British Empire's sea force. The poster depicts a fleet of warships in formation, with a flight of nine aircraft in formation flying overhead. The title 'Mightier Yet!', combined with the text in the lower section refers both to how strong the 'sea force' of the British Empire is, and how strong it is expected to become available with the extra 'million tons' of warships that were being built at that point in time.
