US propaganda postcard for an Army Air Force trainee. It's unclear whether the young vultures are US or Japanese/German/Italian flyers.

Another US anti-Axis postcard, this one showing a US soldier chasing a scared Hitler with a bayonet fixed on a rifle. There are several postcards in this series or with this format.

The illustrator Blake made this postcard in 1944. Many children became men in WWII, I think that's the point. . .

And lest you think all linen postcards from c1942 were anti-Japanese, here's an anti-Hitler and one against all three major Axis leaders.

Another postcard similar to that in my second post in this thread. Entitled "Bums Away" it shows Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo getting dropped down to Hell--someone's glad to see them. The card has no message nor address and the postmark is certainly just a 'cancel-to-order' type; not of postal significance (although it helps us date the card further.)
