War Illustrated

War Illustrated

A recent acquisition is the cover of the last ever edition of The War Illustrated, published on 8 February 1919. The entire cover is taken up with a photograph taken onboard an NS-class airship “on duty above the waters”.

The image can be found in the NS-Class Gallery.
