Produce for Victory!
A colour photographic close-up of a smiling freckled boy in a straw hat looking skyward, above a child's quotation about planes and his father who helps make them. The child speaker is the plain-folks device; the closing 'us Americans are sure gonna win this scrap' is a confident claim of national success.
