Full color 9 1/2" x 13" ad that encourages people to get involved in the excitement. The ad has several pictures of action in the Air Force. The ad has a large picture of pilots getting ready and taking off in their jets on a rainy night while the ground crew members are working away with them. There are three smaller pictures entitled Ready that shows "Skilled watchers" in front of radar screens, Aim which shows a radar observer in the rear seat of a plane navigating the plane to the target and Fire with the plane successfully attacking the enemy. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view. |

| Electric Boat Company |
Full color 9 1/2" x 13" ad for the Submarines they were responsible for building during World War II. The ad has a picture, which was a copy of a lithograph they were sending out during the war, of one of their Submarines underwater shooting a torpedo. The ad, rather than talk about it's product, devoted most of the text to talking about the above-average men who volunteered for duty on equipment like this. The headline calls them the "Pride of the Fleet!" and encourages men that if you "Want ACTION? Sign on a Sub!". This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view. |
