1942 Great Britain Lundy Island 3 Puffin Victory Issue Overprinted In Blue MNH. Stamp Features a “V” For Victory And A Spitfire Overprinted In Green On The 1939 3 Puffin Definitive. The Allies of World War II introduced the "V for Victory" sign in January 1941 as part of a campaign. Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister, made the sign famous by raising and parting the index and middle fingers. The symbol became a rallying emblem for those under occupation and is still seen in news reports from conflicts around the world. The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force and other Allied countries before, during, and after World War II. Many variants of the Spitfire were built, from the Mk 1 to the Rolls-Royce Griffon-engined Mk 24 using several wing configurations and guns. Wikipedia
