WW2 Fighter planes and Coca-Cola?!

Coca-Cola has done a lot of posters with American planes. Throughout their history, posters have been a significant means of mass communication, often with striking visual effect.

We digitally restored this absolutely fantastic collection of 18 rare art from 1943! Each is a full colour detailed illustration of various WW2 era US aircraft painted by “Heaslip.”

Each illustration has white/gold luster border and we have tried to digitally restore as close to the original as possible. At the bottom of each illustration is the Coca-Cola logo and a pair of bottles. At the bottom right are captions identifying the plane with statistics. The prints will be clear as possible from the 1943 prints.

Size is 30x40cms and you can choose to have it framed or not. These posters were framed and hung in bottling plant lobbies, schools, and other places. Students were instructed on the airplanes so that they knew the difference between friendly planes and enemy aircraft in preparation for bomb drills.

Vintage World War Two Coke posters of this type are some of the most desirable on the market today! These are getting harder and harder to find. So now MapTree gives you an opportunity to own these gems and create your own gallery to have a bourbon in your hands and wander back into those smoke filled skies of WW2!

DM to order these rare prints for owning or gifting or visit

All the 18 posters are READY to be ordered and owned or gifted!

Located in Nashville, Tennessee, and long one of the biggest industrial employers in the state, Avco Aerostructures built the wings for the BAe-146. As a major second tier supplier, Avco Aerostructures also built the wings of the Lockheed Tristar, the B-1, and the Gulfstream bizjets. ⁣ ⁣ Avco Lycoming was responsible for the ALF 502 engines on the BAe-146 as well. ⁣ ⁣ Both entities were subdivisions of Avco (Aviation Corporation) which was founded in 1929 as a holding company of several small airlines vying for airmail contracts. Early investors included Fairchild Aircraft and the Lehman Brothers. Avco eventually come under the control of E.L. Cord who had assumed control of Auburn Auto and through ruthless cost-cutting, amassing an impressive conglomerate of companies that were all under Avco. ⁣ ⁣ Cord clashed with the nascent ALPA over the first pilot's strike in history at one of Cord's airlines. He lost out and was forced to spin off his airline holdings which eventually became American Airlines. Two of Avco's manufacturing subsidiaries were Consolidated Aircraft as well as Vultee Aircraft- they merged in 1943 to form Convair which was in turn spun off by Avco in 1947. ⁣ ⁣ Lycoming initally built car engines for the car manufacturers owned by Avco before getting bought by Avco in 1927. Ten years later, Avco Lycoming switched to building aircraft engines exclusively. ⁣ ⁣ For a British airliner design, the BAe-146 incorporated significant American content, the biggest of which came from Avco Aerostructures and Avco Lycoming. In fact, nearly half of the value of most commercial aircraft are in the engines. ⁣ ⁣ www.lajeteepress.com⁣ ⁣ What do you mean you haven't pressed the BUY button yet to get your hands on "Fighting to be Heard" to feed your ravenous inner avgeek?

From the archives: Convair’s flying car took off over San Diego 75 years ago

Consolidated Vultee Aircraft (Convair) tested a flying car here 75 years ago. The experimental dual-purpose ConvAirCar was designed by Theodore Hall. The machine combined a rear-engined four-passenger automobile with a removable wing and a 190 horsepower Lycoming aero engine. The prototype first flew on November 15, 1947. On November 18, the experiment came to an abrupt halt when the vehicle…

Vought XTBU Sea Wolf by Willard Womack Via Flickr: The Vought XTBU-1 Sea Wolf Torpedo Bomber first flew in 1941. Its performance deemed it better than the Grumman TBF. However, Vought was very heavily involved with their F4U Corsair and the entire project given to Consolidated-Vultee, where it became the XTBY. The prototype had to be repaired after two crashes and one ground collision with a trainer. Consolidated’s new plant was not ready until late 1943, and in the end, after all of these delays, it was apparent the XTBY was not needed and the project cancelled, with only one hundred and eighty built.
