Dünyanın en süratli muharip tayyaresi [World's Fastest Fighting Plane] [Turkish]

A photograph of a twin-boom US Army fighter in flight sits above a Turkish 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 agility, doubled factory count (card-stacking).

THE WORLD'S FASTEST
FIGHTING PLANE

The American army's new attack plane is heavily armed. In level flight it has a speed of more than 720 kilometres per hour. Its manoeuvrability at high altitude has given this plane a very important place in the war. America has doubled the number of its aircraft factories and is creating an enormous air force.
