WWII Postcard???

I didn’t know this, but apparently there were also recruiting ‘postcards’… Not just recruiting posters… Here’s one from the Air Corps, I ‘think’ this might have been one of those! wwii-army-air-corps-recruiting-poster-fly

 

It was one of the last done by Howard C. Christy, also known for the “Christy Girl” illustrations.  Apparently there were only 5000 actual posters produced…

  4. Really great post card! There is a book of thirty called “Army Camp” (covers all the services) on Amazon. Just paging through it was interesting. Wonder if Euripides is related…
