Background
All-American Men of War
#89 (j), January–February 1962, National Periodical Publications Inc. (DC).According to the
Jet Pilot was also from that issue.[9] The pilot's mask is unbuckled, revealing the lower half of his face (as opposed to Bratatat! and Jet Pilot where only the eyes are visible).[10] The onomatopoeia presented graphically appears as a cliché.[11] In comparison to the original Lichtenstein increased the required number of downed planes for flying ace recognition by two,[12]
possibly reflecting his own training.
Critical appraisal
The work is among those known for "bursting shapes and colors" in its graphical content and excellent sound and action in its narrative content.[13] It is one of several Lichtenstein works that depicts what one author describes as a "male violence fantasy".[14]
Original artwork artist
gun sight and angled cockpit control panel. Lichtenstein depicted these without any slant, making them parallel to the surface of the canvas, which in a sense makes the viewer feel as if he is taking the place of the pilot.[15]
