During World War II, Yank, the Army Weekly was a weekly magazine published from 1942 through 1945 and distributed to members of the American military during World War II. Yank included war news and photography and other features. It had a circulation of more than 2.6 million. One of its most popular features, intended to boost morale of military personnel serving overseas, was the weekly publication of a pin-up photograph.[1]
A feature story in Parade published in 1945 noted: "Excellent war reporting and photography, serious discussions of postwar problems and the now famous Sad Sack cartoons have made Yank welcome on far-flung battle lines. But the page most often torn out and tacked up for future reference on barrack walls and foot lockers is the one bearing the official insigne, 'Yank Pin-Up Girl.'"[2]
Yank pin-ups were distributed to locations worldwide where American soldiers, sailors, and Marines were serving. In 1944, the Associated Press published a report that pin-up pictures from Yank were discovered on display on the wall of the chief's hut in a remote jungle village in Burma.[3] According to an account published by the Central Press, American pilots in the Pacific planned to drop Yank pin-up photographs to Japanese soldiers with the inscription: "Eat your hearts out . . . Here's what we are fighting for."[4]
The models

The women who posed for the pin-ups included both famous and unknown actresses, dancers, athletes, and models. Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth, the most famous pin-up model of World War II, both appeared in Yank pin-ups. Grable appeared in June 1943 wearing a patriotic outfit standing in front of a large drum, and in November 1943 in a black dress. Hayworth appeared in November 1943 seated on steps decorated with musical notes and in July 1944 wearing a two-piece bathing suit.[5][6][7]
Other famous actresses featured as Yank pin-ups included Lauren Bacall (November 1944), Ava Gardner (September 1943), Ingrid Bergman (April 1944 and March 1945), Gene Tierney (February 1944 and March 1945), Jane Russell (January 1943 and September 1945), Susan Hayward (October 1945), Donna Reed (April 1943 and November 1945), and Lucille Ball (July 1943 and March 1945).
The women included as Yank pin-ups included at least two African-Americans: pianist and singer Hazel Scott (March 1943) and singer/actress Lena Horne (July 1943).[8][9]
A few women appeared three times as Yank pin-ups. They included actresses Ramsay Ames, Dusty Anderson, Anne Gwynne, and Dolores Moran, big-band singer Janet Blair, and swimming champion Esther Williams,[6][7][10]
The models featured as Yank pin-up were women with the exception of one man. In May 1943, Yank featured a cover photograph of a soldier with the caption: "Pin-up for WAACs. This dog-tagged Dorothy Lamour is S Sgt. Charles Gardocki, and he's sweating out the war somewhere in the Pacific. Hirsute, h'ain't he?"[11]
At the end of the war, Yank featured its first non-human "pin-up girl", the Statue of Liberty.[12]
