Attack Attack Attack - Buy War Bonds
War-bond poster: two infantrymen with bayoneted rifles charge up a beach past a machine gunner and a landed tank, while formations of aircraft fill the sky and the words ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK run across it. The bond purchase is tied to the assault itself (transfer): the buyer is invited to share in the soldiers' action.
