Someone in the FB group pointed me to Machine Age Chronicles which featured advertisements for Coca-Cola and pictures of combat aircraft used in World War 2.
During the Second World War Coca-Cola released a gallery of US warplane posters. They were all painted by the American artist William John Heaslip who was famous for his aviation related advertisements. The prints were 33cm x 38cm and probably spruced up the bedroom of many American boys.
I did a quick post on vintage aviation advertisements and one of those was indeed Mr Healys work.
Here are some of them:
I’m hoping these bring back back some good memories for the readers.
