The poster depicts a fighter pilot preparing to get in his plane. The pilot fastens his harness and keeps an eye on the skies beyond him.

The text “Keep him flying!” is printed in yellow over the plane’s body. “BUY WAR BONDS” is printed in large black block letters at the bottom. "U.S. Government Printing Office: 1943-O-507063."
