War Birds - Hart Schaffner & Marx

This rare WWII poster is perfect for anyone interested in aviation! Over thirty vignettes of different war planes are shown in this well-designed image. The more you look, the more details there are to be discovered. It was created by Hart Schaffner & Marx, a classically American men's clothing company that produced American military uniforms during WWII. It is a great example of a privately produced wartime poster.

Hart Schaffner & Marx began as a family business in 1872 Chicago. The company expanded to warehouses in Des Plaines, Illinois in 1911, and it still employs over 300 workers there today (in addition to warehouses around the globe). The company's roots are in work wear for men in hands-on industries like labor and construction, although it does have many lines of fine office wear, as well. Government and wholesale contracts such as military uniforms are something the company is very proud of, and they even stitched face coverings for essential workers during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
