From the Smithsonian calendar.
"Dish It Out With the Navy! Choose Now While You Can...U.S. Navy"
The poster shows a five man crew manning an open deck gun. Two are wearing helmets.A very muscular swabbie is shirtless and cradling a huge shell he is about to put into the breech of the barrel as the gun fires off a shot.
McClelland Barclay, 1942.
"Poster artist McClelland Barclay served in the U.S. Navy in the War Arts Corps during World War II drawing navy recruitment posters. In July 1943 the Navy reported Barclay missing when the ship he was in was torpedoed."
Just In Time to recruit After Pearl Harbor. --GreGen
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.
