During WWII the US Government Printing Office
produced different types of posters.
One poster had a B-17 gunner facing an attacking Focke-Wulf Fw 190 the caption said
Who's afraid of the "Big Bad Wulf"
when all the gunner's saw this poster, they
signed all of them and returned them, saying
"We Are!!"

Red border around National Insignia on wing suggests this was taken between 28-Jun-1943 and 14-Sep-1943 (red border only lasted three-and-a-half months). But Blue border around National Insignia on fuselage suggests this was taken very shortly after the change, i.e., soon after 14-Sep-1943.
