Wings for Victory - More Savings, More Wings
A painted close-up of a goggled airman looks down through a canopy toward a burning target seen through the frame. The slogan 'Wings for Victory' puts a virtue word on the appeal (glittering-generalities), and 'More Savings - More Wings' ties the viewer's savings to the airman's aircraft (transfer).
