She's a swell plane - give us more!

War Production Board sheet: a smiling airman in flight helmet, goggles and life vest raises one hand to his goggles and points a thumb behind him. The headline is spoken in his voice, 'She's a swell plane - give us more!', over the block 'MORE PRODUCTION'. Testimonial: a pilot's approval of the aircraft is turned into a request to factory workers.
