Definitely one of the best posters we have ever had in our possession. A very rare WWII poster for the WAVES to help recruit parachute riggers. This job required women to inspect, pack, and repair parachutes which of course played a crucial role in military aviation. These women attended a parachute school at the Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey, where they learned their trade. We only know of 2 other examples of this poster.
Measures 28x40.5”
Condition- very good, linen backed. restoration in corners and a few repaired tears.
