The t-shirt had always been worn as an under garment, but during WW1 soldiers would write their unit names on them, and the modern printed t-shirt was born! This continued in WW2, when services or units would have t-shirts printed to build 'espirt de corps'. This great example, one of the coolest and most iconic of the war, was printed on a USN t-shirt for a member of the USAAF's 20th Air Force when they were station in Guam as part of the bombing campaign against Japan. A seriously cool piece.
Condition
For an 80 year old t-shirt this is in great shape. There is a little light staining to the lower front and a tiny hole on the back, otherwise she's great.
