On depicting Muhammad – always.
Use. Protection.
Weapons, uncommitted – look.
For. Flings.

Out
of jail – keep him
resist
Nazi aggression –
like the rigors of
Curtiss Wright’s P-36 fighter.
The governing

like rearmament – ideological stripes – needed.
American plane construction –
an economic and military
sense.
