# Amerikas nyaste störtbombare [America's Newest Dive Bomber] (Swedish edition)

An aerial photograph of a US Navy single-engine aircraft sits in a blue border of white stars, with a flag graphic and a captioned portrait of President Roosevelt below a short Swedish text. The text claims the new dive bomber is faster, longer-ranged and carries a bigger bomb load than any other in the world, with no figures or comparison given (card-stacking), and the flag, stars and presidential portrait lend national authority to the claim (transfer).

AMERIKAS NYASTE
STÖRTBOMBARE

Det senaste tillägget till amerikanska flottans flygvapen är
det här avbildade störtbombplanet. Amerikanska flottan
uppfann störtbombfällningens teknik, och denna nya
modell är snabbare, har större aktionsradie och kan med-
föra större bomblast än något annat störtbombplan i
världen. De amerikanska flygmaskinsfabrikerna ha mer än
fördubblats i storlek och utvidgas ständigt.

AMERICA'S NEWEST
DIVE BOMBER

The latest addition to the American Navy's air arm is the dive bomber pictured here. The American Navy invented the technique of dive-bombing, and this new model is faster, has a greater range and can carry a larger bomb load than any other dive bomber in the world. The American aircraft factories have more than doubled in size and are constantly being expanded.
