Addressed to wireless fans, this color lithograph asks them to help the Navy "get the Hun submarine" by joining its radio ranks. Its call for 1000 radio men, with applications taken at 280 Broadway or any recruiting station, reflects a real wartime shortage of trained wireless operators as the Navy expanded. Amateur enthusiasts who already knew Morse code and receiving sets were an obvious pool of recruits, and the poster ties their hobby directly to the fight against German U-boats.
