In 1942 America Will Build 60,000 War Planes / In 1943 America Will Build 125,000 War Planes
A red V frames a portrait of Roosevelt, with rows of aircraft silhouettes shrinking into the distance above it and the goals '60.000' for 1942 and '125.000' for 1943. The president's portrait and facsimile signature lend his authority to the production targets (transfer), which appear as bare figures without any sourcing or schedule (card-stacking).
