Produce for Victory: Thanks America
Colour photographic poster: a bearded airman in a sheepskin flying jacket against a blue sky, with a quotation in a British speaker's voice thanking America and promising to 'blast the blighters to pulp'. The unnamed speaker lends the production slogan an allied testimonial; the enemy is named only as 'blighters'.
