Sea Power 1944-45

---

In early 1941, recognizing the likelihood of war, Andres enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a common seaman. From his service in the North Atlantic on the USS Zircon (PY-16, a pleasure yacht that had been converted to a patrol vessel),  Andres received a combat ribbon for engagement with the enemy before Pearl Harbor. Through the influence of fellow illustrator and Navy Lieutenant Commander Maclelland Barclay,  Andres was reassigned to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where he painted covers for Sea Power magazine (a publication of the Navy League). These covers  were where he honed his craft as an illustrator.  Here the original paintings that have been located are presented without typography, and magazine covers are further below.
