Military Covers

Military covers are some collectors specialties, so I won't pretend to know more than I do about them. I'm a casual collector of them and these few are interesting.

Even SNAFU knows VD can be prevented.SNAFU was a character created by Warner Bros. Leon Schlesinger's animation studio for a series of black and white "instructional" cartoon shorts during World War II. Not many people know this, but Walt Disney almost got the bid to create SNAFU for the US Military, but was underbid by Schlesinger's animation studio.

For a personal remembrance of these SNAFU VD covers, head over to: http://www.89infdivww2.org/memories/stearnssouvenirs2.htm
