'אוירון ההתקפה המהיר ביותר בעולם' [The Fastest Attack Aircraft in the World] (World's Fastest Fighting Plane [Hebrew])

A photograph of a twin-boom US fighter in flight sits above a Hebrew text block, a US flag and a portrait of President Roosevelt, inside a blue border of stars. The flag and president's portrait attach national authority to the aircraft (transfer), and the text offers a superlative speed claim and production claim with no counter-figures (card-stacking).

אוירון ההתקפה
המהיר ביותר בעולם

אוירוני ההתקפה החדשים של הצבא האמריקאי הם היותר משורינים ומוכשרים לתעופה רגילה במהירות של 720 קילומטר לשעה. מפני פעולתו של אוירון מעין זה בגובה עצום — הוא נחשב לאחת ההמצאות החשובות ביותר של מלחמה זו. מספר בתי החרושת באמריקה תכפלו ואמריקה בונה כוח אוירי מאין כמוה!

THE ATTACK AIRCRAFT
THE FASTEST IN THE WORLD

The new attack aircraft of the American army are the most heavily armoured and capable of ordinary flight at a speed of 720 kilometres an hour. Because of the operation of an aircraft of this kind at an enormous height, it is considered one of the most important inventions of this war. The number of factories in America has been multiplied, and America is building an air force without equal!
