This image illustrates the transmission of pinup art during WWII from the well known „Flappers“ themes of the 1920ies into the color popping images post-war in the 1950ies. The 40ies were the golden age of pinups. For the first time in history, the US military unofficially sanctioned the creation and distribution of pinup pictures, magazines and calendars to troops in order to raise morale and remind young men what they were fighting for. These vintage WWII pinup posters adorned servicemen’s lockers, the walls of barracks, and even the sides of planes.
