# Wings for Victory: More Savings - More Wings

A painting looks past the engines of a four-engined RAF bomber to three more in formation over sunlit cloud, under the title 'Wings for Victory' and the line 'More Savings - More Wings'. The glow and the aircraft's prestige are attached to the act of buying savings certificates (transfer), and 'Victory' stands in for any stated sum or purchase (glittering generalities).
