WWII Propaganda Posters

See them here.

This one is particularly interesting because it features Dorie Miller, who was played by Cuba Gooding Jr. in Pearl Harbor.

Not from the same collection, but I’ve always liked this one. Along with these two.

As a former member of the Civil Air Patrol, I appreciate poster #25.

From the official site of the U.S. Air Force (emphasis mine):

I’ve read that the sinking of U-166 was credited to a CAP pilot; but one site suggests that U-166 was sunk two or three days earlier in a Naval action, and that the CAP pilot actually made an unsuccessful attack on U-171.

Still I do remember hearing that the CAP sunk one sub, and one German U-boat commander cursed ‘those damned yellow airplanes’; not to mention damaging ten subs, which adversely affected their missions.

Wow, how has that ‘Liberators’ one not been re-used recently?

A bit earlier than WWII, but I’ve got a vintage copy of this poster hanging on my wall.

I prefer this one, from the same era. :smiley:

I really outta get back to finishing the photoshop job I was doing for an updated version…

I am so getting a Star of David loincloth.

Actually, any attack that caused the sub to have to submerge was a good one. A sub’s search radius is much smaller when submerged (periscope) than when surfaced (lookouts on bridge with binoculars), and there’s a good chance the quarry could sail out of sight. Plus WWII subs were much slower submerged than surfaced.

That’s one tough-looking Chinese woman.

I always loved the similar one showing the Canadian. :smiley:

for a few years I was really into WW2 propaganda. My walls were covered in them.

Right now I only have the Kultu-Terror anti-American one up in the hobby room. (ETA: this poster is called also known as"Liberators" and is the first one in the op)

One of my favorite’s is Churchill’s head on a bulldog body that says “Hold the Line”
