# To Victory! With Our Help

A goggled flier's profile fills the sheet, with a column of fighters receding past his face and a large V framing an RAF-style roundel. 'To Victory!' is a virtue word with no stated aim, and the pilot, aircraft and roundel lend the prestige of the air force to the maker's 'help' in war production.
