# Nakajima Aircraft silver-donation advertisement, Chubu Nippon Shimbun (Japan, 8 December 1944)

Newspaper advertisement by Nakajima Aircraft headed 'Great mobilization of silver' beside a drawing of a fighter plane. It says the key to victory now lies in the decisive air battle, that aircraft need silver, and asks readers to hand silver in at the local office. The tell: a firm's advertisement carries the state's metal-collection drive, tying a household donation to the outcome of the air war, with no quantities or results given.
