A vintage circa 1939 publication of The Illustrated London News published on June 10 1939 detailing Britain's preparedness just before the outbreak of WWII. The paper extensively covers Britain's war preparation efforts and features the Bristol Blenheim bombers in a practice raid, showcasing the Royal Air Force's power to strike back at an aggressor. The newspaper covers the rapid expansion, with thousands of new machines being produced and personnel trained to make Britain ''invincible in the air'. Item shows sign of wear and tear due to great age.
