World War II print ads.
These ads abounded during World War II and were used reinforce brand awareness while a company was supporting the war effort instead of being able to provide consumer goods.
Nearly all these images are from the collection of Benoit De Mulder. Thank you Benoit for sharing these with us.

Interesting...in the 7th ad, Boeing admits to a five percent loss rate, a bit of unexpected candor during wartime.
The second ad's photo is interesting, must be a very early "G" since it seems to have the red-bordered 1943 markings.
