This propaganda poster was printed in Shanghai in 1971, during the period of the Cultural Revolution (1966-76). At this time, graphic art was heavily used to promote mass campaigns and divulgate revolutionary ideas.
The theme of this poster is to celebrate the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), the military aircraft organisation of the People's Republic of China. Propaganda posters before the 1980s often illustrate examples of patriotism by PLAAF pilots and the need of modernising the army with a more advanced technology.
