Can we just talk about how snatched Donald's waistline actually is?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Our man has been serving in more ways than one during World War 2. But, it's no joke how popular he was during the time, dwarfing every other Disney character asked for. He pretty much embodied the every man that time, an ordinary guy who was only trying to do his best and came out as a hero.

Donald Duck is the true ass of America. On a side note, it's always been interesting that Donald's official military records has him enlisted in the Army and not Navy. Though we see him enlist in the navy in Ducktales 1987. As a bonus, here's a couple of Jose Cariocas during that time.

On the left is the art of Jose that was created for the USS-Escambia (AO-80) that was responsible for providing fuel in the Pacific, specifically in Philippine territories.

Here is a design created for a bomber attached to the 379th Bombardment Group, 527th Bombardment Squadron. On the right is the original pencil art created by Hank Porter. They actually expected Jose Carioca to be more popular than Donald during the time but no Disney character came close to the demand they had for the Duck. Some sources: Disney Insignia From World War II Bomber Unit Patch Joe Carioca USNS Escambia (T-AO-80) Escambia's Insignia - JOSE' CARIOCA

Major Hirotashi asleep in train, Dec 1914.
Found amongst the papers of Major-General Nathaniel Barnardiston. Barnardiston was the Commander of British Forces North China, sent to aid Japan in the capture of Tsingtao from German forces in August 1914.
I'd be interested to know what the writing says if anyone can translate.
