WWII U. S. Army Air Corps Keep'Em Flying Original 1941 Recruiting Poster

Genuine original 1941 WWII U. Army Air Corps recruiting poster featuring the "Keep'Em Flying" slogan. Printed September 18, 1941, just months before the United States entered World War II.

The red and blue colors remain bright and vibrant. This piece of WWII military aviation ephemera appears to have survived in part because it was once part of a library collection. The reverse bears a Forbes Library, Northampton, Mass. Stamp, indicating prior ownership by the historic Massachusetts library. Also present on the reverse are handwritten inventory or catalog numbers in both pencil and ink. It is professionally linen/canvas backed for preservation and display, a process that appears to have been completed some time in the past. An excellent example of a pre-Pearl Harbor Army Air Corps recruiting poster documenting the rapid expansion of American military aviation on the eve of World War. Provenance: Acquired from the Kyle, Texas estate of the son of U.

Army Air Forces Staff Sergeant George H. Webb of the 99th Bombardment Group (H) who completed 50 combat missions in the Mediterranean theatre during WWII.
