The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

World War Poster Calendar-- Part 4: United We Are Strong

"United We Are Strong--  United We Will Win."

This is the poster for January featuring a painting of around twenty huge cannons pointing skyward and firing with the flags of Denmark, U.K., U.S., China, Soviet Union, Australia and other Allies.

Made by Henry Koerner, office of War Information, 1943.

Henry Koerner escaped from Austria in 1938 after it was annexed by Germany.  Soon after his arrival in the United States, Koerner began his career as an artist for the United States government creating numerous posters for the war effort.
