I am opening some more goodies I picked up while traveling this fall and I thought I would share another poster that I picked up and get a couple of questions answered. I have been looking for a original of this version of the poster and finally found one in the U.P. of Michigan.

 

This poster measures aprox. 38x25 and is what I believe is the earlier version of this poster. The other version simply reads 'Keep'Em flying is our battle cry, do your part for duty-honor country'. Does anyone know for certain which version came first? The printers information along the bottom reads P-37-RPB-3-7-42-50M, am I right interpreting this as being printed in 1942? I have a lot of posters but I am not a 'poster guy' and am just starting to research and learn about them so any info will be helpful.

 

Sorry about the lousy photos, I was trying to beat the snow and the wrap that I currently have the poster in gave a lot of glare.

You have a really nice and highly desirable (one-sheet) early war poster. I'm not familiar with the other one that you mentioned, but I'm pretty sure this would've been the "first" one. The printing date is indeed 3-7-42. Hope this helps.
