Summary

Women's Royal Naval Service- With the Fleet Air Arm, Scotland, 1943
Third Officer Ingledew, WRNS, encourages gunners of the Station Defence to draw various aircraft types from memory as part of her daily hour-long lecture on aircraft recognition. The epidiascope used to project pictures of aircraft onto the screen as part of this class can be seen in the background. Drawings are judged on the recognition of outstanding features of all aircraft types, not on artistic merit! According to the original caption, a similar course is being considered for Fleet Air Arm personnel on the recognition of ships.

Large WWII photograph collection made with aid of image recognition.

The UK Ministry of Information was established in 1939, at the outbreak of World War II. It was responsible for coordinating and controlling all government information and propaganda, both within the UK and abroad. The Ministry of Information was created to help the government communicate with the public and to ensure that important information was disseminated effectively. It was also responsible for managing the media and censoring certain types of information that might be harmful to morale or national security. The Ministry of Information played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during the war, and it worked closely with other government departments to develop and implement a range of propaganda campaigns. The Ministry of Information was dissolved in 1946, following the end of World War II.
