America's Newest Dive Bomber [Blank] (text-free edition)
A photograph of a US Navy aircraft in flight over farmland sits above a large empty white panel holding only a US flag and a portrait of President Roosevelt, all 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 aircraft (transfer).
