Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for the Submarines built by this company and the wonderful job they were doing doing World War II. There is a double-view painting that shows a Japanese ship burning as it slips beneath the ocean surface while also showing the conning tower of the submarine that sent the torpedoes that were responsible for, as the raised fingers of the one sailor indicate, the third ship sunk within 2 1/2 hours. The headline calls it “Revenge in the Pacific” and the text mentions more exploits of this branch of the service including the fact that “As this goes to press, the latest Navy report officially credits them with 277 Jap ships sunk or smashed since the beginning of the war!”. The ad also shows the Submarine Officers’ Insignia, mentions the three locations where production of the necessary parts were done and urges all readers to Buy War Bonds.
