War Planes [Blank]
A blue inverted triangle filled with rows of aircraft silhouettes, led by a large four-engined bomber, narrows to a circular portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt set in a red V, above a facsimile signature and two empty caption panels. The tells are transfer, in the president's portrait and signature lending authority to the aircraft, and bandwagon, in the massed formation implying overwhelming numbers.
