# سلاح الفوز النهائي [The Weapon of Final Victory] (The Final Victory Weapon [Arabic])

A photograph of a US four-engine bomber (Flying Fortress) seen from above sits over an Arabic text block, a US flag and a portrait of President Roosevelt, inside a blue border of stars. The flag and portrait attach national authority to the aircraft (transfer), and the text gives altitude and production claims with no counter-figures (card-stacking).

— سلاح الفوز النهائي —

غارات بعيدة المدى لالقاء القنابل على العدو تقوم بها قوة الطيران الملكية تدل على
ان «القلعة الطائرة» صنع الولايات المتحدة ستكون من معدّات الحرب التي لم تخطر
ببال الامم المعتدية. ففي وسع هذه «القلاع» ان تهاجم العدو من علو ٤٠٫٠٠٠
قدما (ومنها من الطراز الحديث ما يستطيع ان يعلو فوق هذا) تكون في خلالها
بعيدة عن مدى المدافع المضادّة للطائرات وفوق طاقة اعظم طائرات الدفاع ارتفاعا.
وفي الولايات المتحدة الان اربعة مصانع رئيسيّة لبناء الطائرات القاذفة هذه فضلا
عن المصنع الحديث الواسع الذي بناه خصيصا لهذه الغاية هنري فورد. واختبار
الولايات المتحدة الهندسي ومواردها الواسعة تمكنها من بناء هذه «القلاع الطائرة»
واخراجها كاملة جاهزة جملة لا آحادا. ولائحة الانتاج الاولية بناء ٥٠٠
«قلعة طائرة» كل شهر.

الرئيس روزفلت

— THE WEAPON OF FINAL VICTORY —

Long-range raids to drop bombs on the enemy carried out by the Royal Air Force show that the US-made "Flying Fortress" will be among the war equipment that never occurred to the aggressor nations. These "fortresses" can attack the enemy from a height of 40,000 feet (and some of the modern type can fly higher than this), during which they are out of range of anti-aircraft guns and beyond the capacity of the highest-flying defence aircraft. In the United States there are now four main plants for building these bombers, in addition to the large modern plant built specially for this purpose by Henry Ford. The engineering experience of the United States and its wide resources enable it to build these "Flying Fortresses" and turn them out complete and ready wholesale, not singly. The initial production schedule is the building of 500 "Flying Fortresses" every month.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
