Few posters on this board put the Statue of Liberty beside military aircraft, and this lithograph does exactly that, pairing the monument with carriers and planes under the slogan "Keep 'em flying." Produced by the Pennsylvania Art Project during the Works Progress Administration, it dates from the years between 1941 and 1943, when the United States was building up its air power before and during its entry into World War II. The poster's appeal is simple: the nation's most familiar symbol of freedom is tied directly to the aircraft and carriers that would defend it. Its wartime pairing of art and public messaging is typical of the federal poster programs of the period.
