1944-45 U.S. Naval Carrier Pilot (Fitzgerald) Identification Posters

Combatants in war have consistently bombed and shot at their own ships and aircraft out of unfamiliarity of their shape and design. Thus, becoming familiar with the general layout of both Allied and enemy ships was a vital skill Allied intelligence sought to solve over the course of World War II. As a result of this, friendly fire intelligence resources such as ID posters, binders, and booklets were created to differentiate friend from foe. Whether you were a pilot flying combat missions or a sailor aboard any type of U.S. ship classes, the objective of all seagoing and air personnel was set to be able to recognize important aircraft, ships or ship types at a glance. Thus, familiarity with the details of naval and aircraft design illustrated in the following page proved of value to the student of ship identification.
