Join the Air Service: Soar into the Skies and Defend Your Country (World War I Recruitment Poster by Warren Keith, 1918) As the world plunged into the chaos of the First World War (1914-1918), the call to arms echoed across the land. In response to the rapidly evolving nature of modern warfare, the United States Army established the United States Army Air Service on May 20, 1918. This new branch of the military was dedicated to the operation and maintenance of military aircraft. This powerful recruitment poster, created by artist Warren Keith in 1918, was designed to inspire American men to join the Air Service and take to the skies in defense of their country. The vertical, upright design features a bold, colorful scene of a determined man in uniform, gazing up at an aeroplane as it soars into the sky. The plane, with its wings outstretched, symbolizes freedom, power, and the opportunity to make a difference in the war effort. The poster's tagline, "Join the Air Service," is prominently displayed at the bottom, along with the image of an American flag and the words "United States Army." The poster's masculine, patriotic tone appealed to the sense of duty and adventure that many young men felt during this time. The use of the word "Join" and the imperative verb "Soar" in the caption emphasizes the call to action and the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than oneself. The poster's historical significance lies in its role as a visual representation of the United States' entry into the air war and the importance of the Air Service during World War I. This poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who answered the call to serve during this pivotal moment in history. It is a testament to the enduring power of art and visual communication in inspiring and mobilizing people to come together for a common cause.
