Well, the CPI during WWII (1940-1945) was about 2.5% per BLS calculator, while yields were low (Bart's govt debt spike) However, an older story with Continental dollar was much less successful. We created hyperinflation in the US. We've been monetizing lately at about the same pace as we did back then -g- ideas.repec.org Of course, one key difference was that back during WWII 35 dollars always bought 1 gold Oz., so, monetary expansion and QE was not something you could easily do.
