This will be a collection of WWII-era Civilian magazines and newspapers. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, War Time Press has a selection as well. However, it appears you only get a digital file.
If you would like information on Army Talks and Combat Lesson publications, see World War II Combat Lessons and Army Talks.
For Army magazines and newspapers, see: WW2 Reenacting Army Newspapers, Guides, Pamplets, and Bulletins.
For information on Men’s Adult Magazines, see my post: WW2 Men’s Magazines.
Popular Mechanics
Popular Mechanics – The 1940s versions are available for viewing in Google Library, but you do not seem able to download them. You can download the 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, and 1945 years via the Internet Archive. My guess is that you could print this on an 8.5×11 standard piece of printing paper (though back then, it appears to have been closer to newsprint?)
Collier’s Magazine
Collier’s is another popular American Magazine. This one was weekly, so there are a lot of issues to look through. Like other magazines, this one also captures the products available during the War years. You can find the full collection at Unz Review, though they don’t appear to be downloadable.
