FYI, since accuracy is important when researching this kind of thing, they didn't have radar or jets in the early 1900s and the first purpose built USN aircraft carrier was commissioned in 1934.

That's a WW2 era carrier and post WW2/Korean/ Cold War era jet silhouettes ...that poster is from 1947-1958 and almost certainly done by this guy-

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Binder_(graphic_designer)

Note that he wrote a book called "Color In Advertising"-

>"The book begins with the statement "Colour is the poster-painter's chief means of creating effect." This statement holds true in Binder's own work, as well as his assertion that that color harmony must be a harmony of contrasts if a poster is to hold the viewer’s attention. Binder advises designers to consider color's physical and psychological factors. Citing Newton and Goethe, he suggests that the optical illusion of an afterimage shows that the eye is capable of producing color on its own and this connects to “our innermost human disposition. We need green to free ourselves from red. We need yellow to counterbalance blue.” Regarding the psychological effects of color, Binder forwards the idea that changing the natural colors of objects, if done carefully, can create an element of surprise."

Lots more cool examples of his and others work of that era'
