Let's give 'em an eyeful. More production
Production poster of an Uncle Sam figure with a cigar holding a large shell marked '100% Victory Production' and aiming it at a grimacing face set in a red-and-white rayed disc, the sun-ray pattern of the Japanese naval flag. The enemy is shown as a snarling face with bared teeth, a caricature; Uncle Sam's flag-patterned clothing links the shell to the nation.
