El avión de combate más rápido del mundo [World's Fastest Fighting Plane] (Spanish edition)
A photograph of a twin-boom US fighter in flight sits above a Spanish text block, a US flag and a portrait of President Roosevelt, inside a blue border of stars. The flag and the president's portrait attach national authority to the aircraft (transfer), and the text offers a superlative speed claim and production figures with no counter-figures (card-stacking).

Text on the object
EL AVION DE COMBATE MAS RAPIDO DEL MUNDO El nuevo avión de caza e interceptor del Ejército norte- americano posee gran blindaje y es capaz de desarrollar una velocidad de 720 kilómetros por hora en un vuelo a nivel. Su actuación a grandes altitudes le coloca en la cate- goría de uno de los más importantes aviones fabricados durante la guerra. Norteamérica ha aumentado a más del doble sus fábricas de aviones y está construyendo y orga- nizando una enorme fuerza aérea. La política nacional de los Estado Unidos, basada en la voluntad popular, se funda- menta en que las naciones agresoras no deberán triunfar. EL PRESIDENTE ROOSEVELT
THE FASTEST FIGHTING PLANE IN THE WORLD The new fighter and interceptor aircraft of the North American Army is heavily armoured and is capable of a speed of 720 kilometres per hour in level flight. Its performance at great altitudes places it in the category of one of the most important aircraft built during the war. North America has more than doubled its aircraft factories and is building and organising an enormous air force. The national policy of the United States, based on the will of the people, rests on the principle that the aggressor nations must not triumph. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
