# 지게나 마차로 B-29와 젯트기에 대항이 되겠는가! (Can A-Frames and Carts Stand Against B-29s and Jets?), leaflet 8274

Both sides of a green Korean-language leaflet. The front sets a B-29 and jet bombers over a porter bent under an A-frame load beside a man leading a horse cart, with the question whether such transport can stand against them. The reverse calls it a 'fight between a tiger and a rabbit'. The tell is the threat built on one-sided odds: the supply route is shown being destroyed from the air and the reader is asked to draw the conclusion.

## Text on the object

Original (Korean (Hangul)) · read from the image, not independently checked

```
[Front, caption above drawing:] 지게나 마차로 뻬29와 젯트기에 대항이 되겠는가 !

[Front, lower margin:] E-130    8274

[Reverse, title:] 지게와 비행기의 싸움

[Reverse, body:] 우리는 이십세기 문명시대에 호랑이와 토끼싸움을 구경하고 있다. 지게나 마차로 비행기와 싸우는 것이 그것이다. 아무리 지게로 길 닦이를 하고 아무리 마차로 실어 낸들 그것을 보자 마자 유엔 비행기가 여지없이 부셔 버리니 보급이 계속되지 못할 것은 정한 이치다.
원시적 방법으로 과학무기에 대항이 되겠는가 ?

[Front] Can A-frames and carts stand against B-29s and jet planes? [Reverse title] The fight between the A-frame and the aeroplane. [Body] In this twentieth-century age of civilisation we are watching a fight between a tiger and a rabbit: fighting aeroplanes with A-frames and carts is just that. However much you repair the road with the A-frame, however much you carry loads on the cart, the moment they are seen the United Nations aircraft smash them without mercy, so it stands to reason that supply cannot continue. Can primitive methods stand against scientific weapons?

'뻬29' is read as the Hangul rendering of 'B-29' (first syllable uncertain). Faint show-through of handwriting on the reverse is not transcribed. Translation was cross-read against the paraphrase in the cited paper.
