Artist/Illustrator James Montgomery Flagg

James Montgomery Flagg was somewhat of a child prodigy he had illustrations accepted by national magazines by the age of twelve years and by fourteen he was a contributing artist for Life magazine. He first painted the now familiar Uncle Sam persona for the U.S. Army WWI in 1917 using himself as a model so he could save the cost of a model, so he said.

The familiar image of Uncle Sam pointing by famous American Artist James Montgomery Flagg reappears in this poster to recruit factory workers.

Second World War American patriotic posters like "I need your skill in a war job!" helped unite Americans and mobilize the private and industrial sectors; U.S. citizens of every age, gender, and walk of life did their part to support the war effort, allied military and defeat the axis powers.

U.S. citizens hoped that the Axis powers could be stopped without American military support and hoped America could avoid direct involvement in World War 2 but that all changed the morning of December 7 when Japan blindsided the U.S. military with bombs in the attack of Pearl Harbor Hawaii and other U.S. military outposts. The military might of the United States of America of course responded with a powerful vengeance but leaders knew that troops could not win the war alone. The American citizens rallied for the troops and swift mobilization of American citizenry and industry during World War II was an achievement without precedent in speed, scale, complexity and duration. This achievement can be partially attributed to the federal government's intensive program to marshal the contributions of people of all ages and from all walks of life. Many Americans were willing to give up all luxuries and devote all spare time to the war effort to achieve victory. The posters in this gallery helped motivate and mobilize private citizens to find non-military support jobs and produce huge amounts of war materials. The public domain images of vintage patriotic posters from this collection like "I need your skill in a war job!" featured on this page from the American Citizens, Agriculture and U.S. Industry Mobilizes to Support the Troops during World War 2 Poster Gallery of this website allow you to own a copyright free piece of WWII history, a historic patriotic public domain artwork poster that is still motivating today.
