Follow Your Trade in the Fighting Forces: A Vibrant and Patriotic WW2 Recruitment Poster from the Early 1940s This striking and evocative WW2 recruitment poster, titled "Follow Your Trade in the Fighting Forces," invites potential recruits to join the Navy, Army, or Air Force and continue their chosen trade while contributing to the war effort. Dated to the early 1940s, this poster is a testament to the patriotic spirit and determination of the American people during wartime. The poster's bold red, white, and blue color palette and dynamic lettering exude a sense of urgency and importance. The central image of a soldier, sailor, and airman, each in their respective uniforms, stands proudly with their tools of the trade – a wrench, a rifle, and a wrench – demonstrating their continued commitment to their craft. The poster lists various trades that were represented in each branch of the military, including: Navy: Boilermakers, Electricians, Machinists, Seamen, Welders, and more. Army: Artillery, Armor, Engineers, Infantry, Ordnance, Quartermaster, and Signal Corps. Air Force: Aviation Mechanics, Armorers, Aircraft Electricians, and more. The bottom of the poster encourages potential recruits to "Join the Fighting Forces and Follow Your Trade" and provides contact information for local recruitment offices. This poster serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary Americans during WW2 and the vital role that every individual played in the war effort, regardless of their specific trade or occupation.
