The slogan "Join modern mobile mighty Navy" sums up the pitch of this 1957 recruiting poster, and its subject headings point to the aircraft carrier as the emblem of the service's strength. Joseph Binder, an Austrian-born graphic artist who settled in the United States in the late 1930s, designed it, and the U.S. Government Printing Office in Washington, D.C., produced it. Posters like this were part of the postwar effort to attract volunteers to a Navy that was increasingly built around aviation and new technology. Its bold color halftone reflects the commercial illustration style of the decade.
