About the Item

Jack Coggins Aircraft Insignia Original vintage poster, lithograph 60 x 45 cm Signed in image to bottom right This original vintage World War Two propaganda poster was initially commissioned by the army as an aircraft recognition chart for use in basic army training. It showcases different aircraft insignia identification markings with various types of military planes flying over an ominous grey sky. Among others, this poster illustrates a Fokker, B24, Stirling, Hurricane, Messerschmitt and Mitsubishi, surrounded by a colourful border of aircraft insignia including the British Empire, France, Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States. Jack Coggins (1911- 2006) was a British artist, author, and illustrator who moved to the United States in 1923 and enlisted with the army in 1943. He is known in the United States both for his oil paintings, which focused predominantly on marine subjects and for his books on space travel, which he authored and illustrated. Throughout his career he also provided illustrations for advertisements, magazine covers and articles. During the Second World War, he served as an artist and correspondent for YANK magazine, capturing and conveying wartime scenes from the front lines.
