Have a Coke and a Warbird

By admin | April 1st, 2011 | Category: Blog Style, Gallery | 2 comments

During the Second World War Coca-Cola released a gallery of US warplane posters. They were all painted by the American artist William John Heaslip who was famous for his aviation related advertisements. The prints were 33cm x 38cm and probably spruced up the bedroom of many American boys.
