About this poster:
This vintage World War II poster features a vibrant color photograph capturing a group of U.S. Army airmen intently studying a map. Central to the image is an officer, guiding the focus of his crew, all clad in flight jackets and uniforms, conveying a sense of teamwork and strategic planning. Above this determined group, a formation of B-17 Flying Fortress bombers streaks across a clear blue sky, symbolizing American air power. The prominent, energetic slogan "KEEP 'EM FLYING!" is emblazoned across the top, serving as a powerful call to action.
Created in 1942, this poster is a piece of American history, designed to recruit young men for the war effort. The secondary message, "Air Crews Are Vital For Victory," underscores the importance of these roles. It specifically targets men aged 18 to 26 for aviation cadet training as bombardiers, navigators, and pilots. The use of a photograph by Ivan Dmitri, originally featured in The Saturday Evening Post, adds a layer of realism and authenticity, aiming to inspire patriotism and encourage enlistment at U.S. Army recruiting stations.
