Yank Far East Edition Vol. 2 No. 31, March 2, 1945.

Larawang Tribiya

          Ang Yank ay isang panglingguhan babasahing magazine na inilabas ng United States military noong World War II. Ito ay mula sa konsepto ni Egbert White na dati ng nagtrabaho sa Stars and Stripes noong World War I. Siya ay binigyan ng U.S. Army ng ranggong Lieutenant Colonel upang pamunuan ang publication. Naging unang editor nito si Major Hertzell Spence. Naglalaman ito ng mga kuwentong isinulat ng mga enlisted rank soldiers, larawan ng pin-up girls (mga sikat na artista sa dulaan at pelikula), ang “G.I. Joe” cartoons ni Dave Breger at ang “Sad Sack “cartoons ni Sgt. George baker. Umabot ang circulation nito ng 2.6 million.

          Sa Pilipinas, ibinebenta ito sa halagang 10 centavos (1943-1945). Sa isang cover ng Far East Edition ng Yank (Vol. 2 No. 31, March 2, 1945), itinampok ang larawang may pamagat na “Philippine Procession” kung saan makikita ang isang kalesa na sinusundan ng isang tangkeng pandigma ng America.
