Title: Join The Air Service and Serve in France

Comments: One of the best and most scarce World War One  posters, this poster recruits for the Army Air Service, the precursor to the United States Air Force, and does so in dramatic fashion with a biplane shown with its pilot in an open air cockpit and two spotters, one looking through binoculars.  The poster is signed and dated by the artist J. Paul Verrees. A very scarce fine and scarce poster.

Pictured below the poster is the damaged paste on sticker for the local recruiting station (New York City) which was removed when the poster was placed on linen.

Size: 25" x 37"

Date: 1917

Condition: Mounted on linen with great colors. Has had some restoration work done to the top of the poster and displays magnificently.
