WWII US Navy Training Division DILBERT Finally Sees Doctor POSTER # 215 *Damage*

Description

Poster does have damage on top, but is a real poster used for US Navy Training during World War 2.
This illustration was created by Robert C. Osborn while he was commissioned as a Navy officer during WWII. Osborn began drawing cartoons of a pilot who was hapless, arrogant, ignorant and perpetually blundering in ways that put himself and his crew at unnecessary risk. The name of this character was “Dilbert the Pilot”, and “Dilbert” was soon to become a slang term used to refer to “sailor who is a foul-up or a screwball.” Scott Adams credits Osborn as an indirect source of inspiration for the main character in his own Dilbert cartoons. Robert Osborn illustrated around 2000 Dilbert the Pilot and Spoiler the Mechanic posters for the navy. His posters may show funny situations pilots get into, but he’s showing what can and does happen if you don’t pay attention and learn from other pilots mistakes.
