Content note: Poster shows a swastika and a rising-sun flag design as printed. This object is shown as it was published. Why
More production
War Production Board poster: a black bomb marked USA, with the words MORE PRODUCTION along its body, falls toward a red-and-white rising-sun design whose centre carries a swastika. The slogan is fused with a weapon striking the emblems of two enemy states (transfer); the technique is thin here, as the sheet is mostly symbol and slogan.
