An eagle, an airplane, and the American flag share the frame of this 1917 poster, which carries the slogan "Forward America!" The year matches the United States' entry into World War I, and the design belongs to the wave of American wartime posters that urged civilians to support the war effort, including aviation. The record lists Carroll Kelly alongside the title and Joseph Binder as artist. A later note also links the poster to a Warsaw printer and a 1931 promotional goal for Poland, which shows that a wartime image could be reused abroad.
