# Världens snabbaste jaktplan [World's Fastest Fighting Plane] (Swedish edition)

A photograph of a twin-boom US Army fighter in flight sits above a Swedish headline and text, a US flag and a portrait of President Roosevelt, inside a blue border of stars. The flag, stars and portrait lend national authority to the aircraft (transfer), and the text gives only its strengths: speed over 720 km/h, high-altitude manoeuvrability, doubled factory count (card-stacking).

VÄRLDENS
SNABBASTE JAKTPLAN

Det amerikanska flygets nya jaktplan är kraftigt bestyckat
och gör en medel-hastighet av mer än 720 km i timman.
Dess manöverduglighet på stor höjd gör det till ett av
de viktigaste plan, som konstruerats under detta krig.
Amerika har mer än fördubblat sina flygmaskinsfabriker
och bygger nu ett enormt flygvapen. Amerikas politik,
som bygger på folkviljan, går ut på att angriparnationerna
icke skola triumfera.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

THE WORLD'S
FASTEST FIGHTER PLANE

The American air force's new fighter plane is heavily armed and attains an average speed of more than 720 km per hour. Its manoeuvrability at great altitude makes it one of the most important planes constructed during this war. America has more than doubled its aircraft factories and is now building an enormous air force. America's policy, which rests on the will of the people, is aimed at ensuring that the aggressor nations shall not triumph.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
