'כלי הזיין בעד הנצחון הסופי' [Weapon for the Final Victory], 1942 US poster: An aerial photograph of a four-engined US bomber

'כלי הזיין בעד הנצחון הסופי' [Weapon for the Final Victory] (The Final Victory Weapon [Hebrew])

An aerial photograph of a four-engined US bomber with a star marking on the wing sits in a blue border of white stars, with a flag graphic and a captioned portrait of President Roosevelt beside a Hebrew text. The text claims the bombers attack from 12,000 metres beyond the reach of any warplane and gives a production figure of 1,000 a month in 1942, with no losses or limits mentioned (card-stacking); the flag, stars and presidential portrait lend national authority to the claim (transfer).

כלי הזיין בעד
הנצחון הסופי

ה„מבצרים הטסים" האמריקאים הם שהשונא המתקיף לא
ידע ולא חשב על קיומם! הם מתקיפים מגובה של 12,000
מטר (החדשים עולים לגובה יותר גדול) ושום אוירון-מלחמה
אין לו הכוח לפגוע בהם. ארבע בתי יצירה אמריקאיים גדולים
יוצרים את אוירוני-הפצצה הכבירים האלה, מלבד בית-היצירה
הגדול שנבנה לתכלית זו על ידי הנרי פורד. בעזרת הכלים
והמכשירים הנחוצים יש לאמריקה היכולת ליצור ולהבין „מבצרים
טסים" כאלה במספר של המונים והמונים. הסיסמא של היצירה
האמריקאית: 1000 אוירונים כאלה כל חודש בשנת 1942!

הנשיא רוזבלט

WEAPON FOR THE FINAL VICTORY

The American 'Flying Fortresses' are what the attacking enemy did not know of or think of existing! They attack from a height of 12,000 metres (the new ones rise to a greater height) and no warplane has the power to hit them. Four big American factories make these mighty bombers, besides the large factory built for this purpose by Henry Ford. With the tools and equipment needed, America has the ability to make and to understand [as printed; probably 'prepare'] such 'Flying Fortresses' in numbers of multitudes and multitudes. The slogan of American production: 1000 such aircraft every month in 1942!
