00:22

know what this image hope to accomplish which we're going to get is not [Man signalling for a ride on side of the road]

00:25

depiction of that hitchhiking welder let's take B for a spin was the goal of

00:30

the propaganda scene in our image calling for an end to us non involvement

00:34

in world war two or simpler terms was it saying get your butt in there America [Man walks off of plane]

00:39

our image mentioned house well these flames are but looking as a pilot it

00:44

doesn't sound like we're talking about commercial airliners they don't call [Plot standing by a plane]

00:47

those jackets bombers for nothing it actually seems like our image is calling

00:51

for more of something already in use namely warplanes well that doesn't sound

00:57

like a call for non involvement by the time our image was circulating in print [Paper printing]

01:01

world war two was in full swing and the US was already committed to dancing how [US dancing with aircraft]

time our image was circulating in print the draft required all men aged 18 to 64 [Man inspects printing of papers]

02:15

goal of our image the mobilisation of American society emblazoned in beautiful
