Next Stop Tokyo - Let's Go!
A smiling sailor beside a lit signal searchlight, ships on the sea behind him, asks 'Can I tell 'em you're still with us?' above the line 'Next Stop Tokyo - Let's Go!'. A serviceman speaks directly to the reader (testimonial) and 'Let's Go' invites joining the common push (bandwagon). Aimed at war-plant workers via the Navy's industrial incentive programme.
