Over there! Skilled workers on the ground behind the lines" singles out mechanics and tradesmen rather than pilots, urging them to join the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps. The caption adds that men already registered in the draft, or those under 40, could still enlist, a sign of how hard the army was recruiting as the United States entered the First World War in 1917. Printed in Philadelphia by Ketterlinus, the color lithograph by Louis Fancher shows how the air service relied on ground crews to keep its aircraft flying.
