Our Answer: All-Out Production
A giant clenched fist and forearm fill the sky among RAF-marked aircraft above a long factory hall, with workers streaming in at the foot. 'Our answer: all-out production' casts factory work as a strong reply to an unnamed threat, and the fist and the formations supply the force the words do not specify (glittering-generalities).
