In 1942 Sal Amerika 60.000 Oorlogsvliegtuie Bou / In 1943 Sal Amerika 125.000 Oorlogsvliegtuie Bou [In 1942 America will build 60,000 war planes / In 1943 America will build 125,000 war planes]
A V-shaped swarm of ever-smaller aircraft silhouettes converges on a red V containing a portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, with his signature and the production targets of 60,000 aircraft for 1942 and 125,000 for 1943. The tell for testimonial is the president's face and signature vouching for the figures, and for card-stacking the announced targets are presented as achievement-in-waiting with no shortfalls or costs.
