A Guerra Ilustrada: Notícias das Américas, no. 2 [The War Illustrated: News of the Americas]
A Portuguese-language photo-montage news sheet shows a Japanese destroyer sinking in a U.S. submarine periscope, the launch of the carrier Essex, Lend-Lease M-3 tanks with Australian crews, jeeps boarding a transport plane and the director of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. Only U.S. successes and growing strength are selected, with no losses shown (card-stacking), and the caption on 'Uncle Sam's ever-growing fleet' presents growth as momentum (bandwagon).
