As part of military training, there was Home Defense, such as this Civilian Pilot Reserve scene. As visualized in this artistic piece of military training, the civilians are not only looking up at the plane, they’re obviously looking with pride. This is one powerful but reassuringly calm piece of original artwork from the Uncle Sam Trading Cards World War II military series produced and issued by GUM, Inc. of Philadelphia. All these military training maneuvers were part of a successful series of gum cards. This one is the original 7 1/2 x 9” (approx) artboard consisting of the black ink drawing as well as the color overlay that was used to print the Uncle Sam Card #119. The adhesive and other art and pencil markers used in the production of the card can be seen on the back and front.
