Here is a poster I picked up last weekend from a local contact, I had known about this for a while and was finally able to buy it. It is folded which is how they were issued.

 

It is a very nice large poster with great graphics detailing 2 PT Boats attacking a Japanese cruiser in the midst of the night. It has the phrase "Full Speed Ahead" on the top, a message from PT Boat Group 3 CO, phrase "Produce for Your Navy, Victory Begins At Home!"

 

It is made by Einson - Freeman Co. and issued by Navy Dept, Incentive Division.

 

Let me know what you think.

A really nice poster--the artwork is by the outstanding navy artist Jon Whitcomb-I wouldn't hesitate having a copy in my collection. A good candidate for restoration. Thanks for sharing

Thank you, I am going to leave it as is since it has been "untouched." The only thing I may do is have it framed to display in the war room.
