The American Flag is not Going to be Driven from the Seas [Blank] (text-free edition)
A photograph of a large warship on the slipway at launch, with workers and crowds around it, sits above a large empty white panel holding only a US flag and a portrait of President Roosevelt, inside a blue border of stars. With no text printed, the flag, stars and president's portrait are the only message, lending national authority to the navy's shipbuilding (transfer).
