Original World War 2 military industry trade magazine vintage ad for KOPPERS COMPANY of Pittsburgh, PA. Airplanes Make Duds of Cardboard Heroes. Every prophecy about the end of Hitler begins with a prediction on the fall of Benito Mussolini. Italy's hollow shell may be the doorway to Europe. American planes, poised on the lip of Africa, look like the key to that doorway. Koppers American Hammered Piston Rings flew over Tokyo with Jimmy Doolittle. They powered the plane that rescued Eddie Rickenbacker, took the pounding in PT boats that carried MacArthur out of Bataan. Ad features Mussolini being shot full of bullets from airplanes, his fingers dripping with blood. Art by Bingham. Old 1943 WW2 era propaganda magazine advertisement. There is a light stamp on the bottom left side of the page. Would display nicely matted and framed.
