US propaganda posters

I recall Jim enjoys seeing war-time propaganda posters, so here are three of them I found today:

WW2DB: [Photo] American poster to promote sale of war bonds, featuring an African-American US Army Tuskegee pilot, possibly Lt Robert W. Diez, 1943; the text reads 'Keep us flying! BUY WAR BONDS'

WW2DB: [Photo] American propaganda poster 'UNITED WE WIN', showing African-American and Caucasian aircraft factory workers working together, 1943

WW2DB: [Photo] American propaganda poster featuring African-American US Navy sailor Doris Miller, 1943; the text read 'above and beyond the call of duty'

Hope you'll all enjoy

Re: US propaganda posters

Here's an Allied poster, I bet this one was quickly swept under the rug around August 1945!

Re: US propaganda posters

Great examples lads! You know, some of the best artwork I've ever seen were war bond and propaganda posters.
