One of the most famous images ever taken, this is the photo that helped win WWII as soldiers carried it with them for motivation as they battled overseas. Betty Grable is peering backwards and shows off her greatest assets to the camera. A million boys would have sworn she was looking right at them! This image has been viewed a billion times and it has gone down in history as perhaps the most famous pin-up of all time. This vintage example is one of the only smaller examples that were carried into battle by soldiers to remind them of home. While the bigger studio issued examples bring the big bucks, this one was actually in the pocket of a WWII soldier while he fought battles which makes it more special in our opinion. A true piece of American history!
