Making Navy Sense with Robert Osborn

The Medical Heritage Library has a set of booklets illustrated by cartoonist Robert Osborn from the collection of the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (scanned and uploaded by me). Osborn was one of the great cartoonists of the mid-century and should be better remembered. He did a lot of work for the Navy. These are all done for Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. Aviation Training Branch.
