Attack Attack Attack

Created in 1942 by American artist Ferdinand Warren, “Attack Attack Attack – Buy War Bonds” is a dramatic World War II poster encouraging Americans on the home front to support the war effort through the purchase of War Bonds.The poster depicts American soldiers charging forward under enemy fire while formations of U.S. aircraft fill the sky overhead. The repeated command “ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK” connects the action on the battlefield with the bold appeal “BUY WAR BONDS,” suggesting that civilians could participate in the offensive by helping finance the military effort.War Bonds were an essential part of the U.S. government’s wartime financing program. Posters such as this used vivid combat imagery to create a direct connection between money invested by Americans at home and the soldiers, weapons, aircraft, and equipment required overseas.Ferdinand Warren (1899–1981) was an American painter, illustrator, and educator. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and became known for both commercial illustration and fine art. During World War II, his strong figurative style was well suited to government posters designed to communicate patriotic messages with immediacy and impact.This is an Original Vintage Poster, it is not a reproduction.
