Comment Looks like Clint Eastwood. Saffron Blaze (talk) 11:04, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
Support --Katarighe (Talk) 13:56, 6 April 2012 (UTC)- Support Tomer T (talk) 14:47, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
Neutral - only really has educational value as an example of wartime American propaganda - interesting but not really FP material for me. --Claritas (talk) 16:58, 6 April 2012 (UTC)- Neutral as per Claritas. Good restoration. Yann (talk) 18:14, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
- Support Very good restoration work. High historical value. Far more interesting, to me, than a simple uploading of a "Google art" picture. We have here a real work of a "Commons" user, with an exceptional result. That's a FP ! (in my opinion).--Jebulon (talk) 19:46, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
- Support --Kadellar (talk) 23:29, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
- Support Very good--Miguel Bugallo 05:14, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Oppose per Claritas and Yann. Moreover I'm not impressed about the PD tag ... 11/1942 + 70 years doesn't make it PD unless it's work made by a US gov agent (which we can't know). --PierreSelim (talk) 12:36, 8 April 2012 (UTC) Neutral
- Licensing seems fine by me, it's in a public domain collection in the US public archives, and it's reasonable to infer Federal authorship. --Claritas (talk) 21:31, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
- Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, dear Pierre prepare to be informed: First of all a question: Why would you possibly add 70 years to the creation date of an image, in order to calculate its copyright status, that has been obviously been created and published in the US?! Anyhow, I've done some research and found additional information on the photo. The creator of this image was Alfred T. Palmer who used a floodlight for the effect we can see in this image. Palmer was working at the OWI during that time (compare: http://www.alfredtpalmer.com/history/ ); hence this image is in the public domain. The Library of Congress holds an own copy (?) of this image, which can be found here and which provided the necessary data I'm presenting here. Other images from the same series can be found here, here and here. I hope this information was convenient enough to convince you. Changes to the image description were made accordingly.

- Thank you Peter for clearing that things up. I switch my vote to neutral. --PierreSelim (talk) 22:12, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

- Support: It may be propaganda, but it's a good - no, a striking - example of it, and has human story behind it. It's also good to showcase the restoration work undertaken. Andy Mabbett (talk) 12:32, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- Support Regards, PETER WEIS TALK 08:05, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
