En 1942 l'Amérique construira 60.000 avions de guerre; en 1943, 125.000 [In 1942 America will build 60,000 warplanes; in 1943, 125,000]
Rows of aircraft silhouettes narrow into a red V (for Victory) that frames a photographic portrait of Roosevelt and his signature, with the French figures 60,000 planes for 1942 and 125,000 for 1943. The presidential portrait and signature lend his authority to the production numbers (transfer), and the mass of planes presents Allied strength as already overwhelming (bandwagon).
