He moved to New York City after the war and studied at the Art Students League of New York. During the early 1940s, he made posters for Coca-Cola which featured aircraft of the United States Army Air Corps that are now housed in the Smithsonian Institute's Air and Space Museum. Richard "Dick" Blythe was a Canadian pilot and one of the owners of the public relations firm Bruno and Blythe which represented Lindbergh during his transatlantic journey. He also co-founded the secretive, male aviator club, The Quiet Birdmen. From the Richard Blythe Aviation Collection.
