A large format aircraft recognition poster showing the Tupolev Tu-95 BEAR. This nuclear capable, Russian long range bomber entered service in 1952 and is still flying.

This poster, marked RESTRICTED, was designed for display with limited circulation – very few survive today.

The poster has a central fold and shows its age (see images) with nicks, creases and small edge tears stabilised on the reverse with light, archival tape. The poster is unbacked.
