The cast listed on this color poster, led by Tyrone Power, promotes *A Yank in the R.A.F.*, a 1941 Twentieth Century-Fox film about an American who joins Britain's Royal Air Force before his own country enters the war. Betty Grable, John Sutton and Reginald Gardiner also appear in the credits, and the poster's bright, romantic styling pitches the picture as a love story as much as a war drama. Released while the United States was still officially neutral, the film offers a useful view of how Hollywood approached the war in Europe before Pearl Harbor.
