Lithograph signed and inscribed with the title in the print, the rest are signed and inscribed in pencil. Many depict USA and RAF war planes. Harry Jaffee is the brother to renowned comedic artist, Al Jaffee (1921-2023), a prominent illustrator for Mad Magazine, Stan Lee, Playboy and more. It was Harry, not Al, who brought the Jaffee family's first taste of success in the art world. Drawing and painting a series of sleek, technically accurate images of Curtiss Helldivers, Martin Mariners, Lockheed P-38s, and other warplanes, Harry capitalized on the public's growing fascination with military aircraft. He formed an assembly line with his brothers?Al, David, Bernard, and Al's friend Wolfie after finding many buyers at local department stores. The impromptu studio first transferred Harry's original drawing to specialized blue paper, then gradually added additional colors. Harry signed the?art pieces,?"Jaff?e".
