image: six separate images illustrating the use of everyday objects by the military. Each image also contains a circular inset where
similar objects are shown being used as toys by children. In the first image, a RAF airman releases a balloon to test weather conditions -
in the inset, two girls hold party balloons on string. In the second image, six officers sit around a table using model soldiers to plan a
battle - in the inset, a boy plays on the floor with toy soldiers. In the third image, two airmen swim in the sea, supported by their life
jackets, their crashed aircraft sinking in the background - in the inset, a boy swims with the aide of 'water wings'. In the fourth image,
a Navy officer uses a gyroscope to plan his ship's course - in the inset, a boy watches a toy gyroscope spin on the lip of a drinking
glass. In the fifth image, a submarine officer looks through a periscope - in the inset, a girl uses a mirror to look back over her
shoulder. In the final image, a RAF instructor uses a model aircraft to teach airmen to identify different aircraft types - in the inset, a
boy plays with a model aircraft.
