Sad Sack


YANK staff artist Sgt George Baker's regular cartoon chronicling the life of the down trodden, hapless GI was a favourite in all theatres of operation and all of the armed forces. He appeared on many types of USAAF aircraft, though sometimes in name only.

If you have any photos of any of these aircraft or their crews, or can add other examples, please share them with me
