Why would you share an image so tiny, and devoid of any aspect of quality, especially detail? It doesn't add much, if anything, if we can't properly discern why this may fit the theme, or not.

I got astoundingly lucky to find the same image, slightly better quality, and bigger, along with its context:

Pin-up Postcards: Girls in Uniform
- "FLANK ATTACK", by Zoe Mozert.

synopsis:
Featuring the classic pin-up art of Zoe Mozert, Roy Best, Earl MacPherson, and Rolf Armstrong, these images are the same that boosted the morale of the men in the Armed Services and inspired them with sweetly seductive reminders of home. From Hollywood movie goddesses to the fabulous dream girls of calendar artists to the homemade nosecone art of unknown fighter pilots, these pin-up girls charmed and heartened fighting men thousands of miles from home. These ten postcards indicate just how popular and essential these sweetly sexy images were to the war effort, proving that if you really want to give something to the boys . . . send in the girls.
