Another air force and air piracy related poster from my Sparrow Avengers universe. This time, a morale-boosting (well, more like fervour-against-pirates-boosting) poster from the Košice City State. The poster became popular and more frequently used during the second half of the 1930s, when air pirate incursions into the city's airspace, often followed by hit-and-run attacks and bombing raids, greatly intensified.
Much like the previously seen posters warning about pirate zeppelins, this one is also bilingual - the text being in Slovak and Hungarian, to be exact. (There's also a version in German and Yiddish.) However, while the Slovak used in the KCS for governmental purposes is more or less standardized Slovak, some idiosyncrasies and maneurisms from the local form of the East Slovak dialect have crept into the writing (e.g. the lack of acute accent marks in words, some common words having a clearly dialect or colloquial bend to them, etc.).
Translation :
"Enough's enough !!!
The air pirates have inflicted harm upon Košice for far too long !!!
The bandits will pay for this !
The time for retribution has come !!!"

I almost used that exact same poster yesterday, Petike.
Here's a new one:
"The Union's borders always need more men and women to secure them from the foreign hordes, terrorists, and all those ingrates trying to avoid JUSTICE in Canada. Not to mention all those factory strikes that need to be put down! Talk to your children about joining ORRA! We have approximately 30 different occupations available for able-bodied men and women aged 17 to 45, including Airship Navigational Expert, Airship-to-Ground Bombardment Specialist, Sniper, Secretary, and MORE! It's an exciting life to be a PATRIOT. Don't let your children become USELESS TAKERS in our great society!"
Secretary.

Phew, that was close !
Ah, our favourite racial profilers are still recruiting, ey ?
Well made, but you forgot the second "i" in "joining".
Well, that was punctual.
Ribbet.com had my blanked version stored for me, so I pulled it up, fixed it, and used Flickr's new "replace" button.
The facial expression had me in stitches before I read the caption at the bottom.
I call it "Air Rage"
I don't know why.
Am (roughly) quoting from a favorite tantrum.

This fits nicely under the "uh-oh" scenario.
