Leaflet Coalition Forces Ephemera. Air-dropped over Iraqi positions by U.S. and Coalition forces during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, this original 6-by-3-inch psychological operations (PSYOP) propaganda leaflet features a black-ink two-panel cartoon contrasting Iraqi soldiers surrendering to Coalition troops with a warm reception and feast on the front, while the reverse displays an official Arabic "Invitation Card" over the Joint Forces command seal watermark promising safe passage and medical care. Produced on lightweight paper stock by the U.S. and Coalition Joint Forces Theater of Operations, this historical primary-source artifact serves as a compelling piece of modern military paper ephemera for collectors of Gulf War militaria and psychological warfare history. The leaflet presents in fair to good vintage condition, retaining clear, fully legible typography and artwork despite noticeable age-appropriate condition issues consistent with tactical air dissemination, including heavy creasing and wrinkling throughout, edge fraying, and minor tears along the bottom margin.
