These safety poster illustrations were created by Robert C. Osborn while he was commissioned as a Navy officer during WWII. Osborn began drawing cartoons of a pilot who was hapless, arrogant, ignorant and perpetually blundering in ways that put himself and his crew at unnecessary risk. The name of this character was Dilbert the Pilot, and Dilbert was soon to become a slang term used to refer to sailor who is a foul-up or a screwball. Scott Adams credits Osborn as an indirect source of inspiration for the main character in his own Dilbert cartoons. Robert Osborn illustrated around 2000 Dilbert the Pilot and Spoiler the Mechanic posters for the navy. Ranging from basic flight instructions, survival at sea, to attacking subs and carriers. Posters are sometimes simple drawn black and white images to vivid color and very detailed. 

Robert Osborn’s work was very patriotic, historical and humorous. Honoring soldiers/pilots and the USA military throughout his great illustration career.🇺🇸
