# Me110 - Tactical Poster 108

A cutaway drawing of a German Messerschmitt Me 110 twin-engine fighter shows crew positions, guns, fuel tanks and engine with labelled parts, and small views of arcs of fire. It is an aircraft-recognition and technical poster; the only technique that fits is card-stacking, since it presents the aircraft's armament and structure as selected facts for the viewer. No persuasive claim is made.
