The Vintage World War II Civilian Defense Post Rating Card from 1942-1943 is a rare and original piece of militaria collectible from the United States. This unique item provides a glimpse into the history of civilian defense activities during World War II, making it a valuable and sought-after piece for collectors interested in this era. Its authenticity and connection to the historical events of the time add to its significance and appeal as a historical artifact.
During WW 11 organizations like the Aircraft Warning Service (AWS) or localized civil defense entities set up thousands of observation posts across the United States. These posts were staffed by civilians volunteers who scanned the skies 24/7 for enemy aircraft.
The card acts as a public report card to track the operational efficiency and reliability of a specific observation post. Each star represents a one week operational period.
Card is in very good condition, especially considering it is over 80 years old.
