'About Sensations', 1948 Aviator film (slyt, 5:30) ((CW warning, sexism)) "In 1943, Lt. Robert Osborn, in collaboration with Commander Seth Warner, created the "sage of safety" character for a column in the BUAER News Letter produced by the Bureau of Aeronautics to address the increasing aircraft mishap rate. Osborn's illustrations commingled with Warner's narrative accounts of aircraft accidents." " Case in point: this 1945 Navy training film produced at Warner Bros. Cartoons featuring cartoonist Robert Osborn's character Grampa Pettibone. I'd never come across anything about this in all my years of research." 'The Grampa Pettibone collection'

Nice. I'd never heard of this character. Reminiscent of Will Eisner's work with P.S. - The Preventive Maintenance Monthly. Full run available here, courtesy of VCU.

The pilot's eyes in the training film! Great stuff.
