Notes:
This is the cover of a War Atlas published by the Philadelphia Inquirer weeks after Pearl Harbor, reflecting and supporting the mood of the country. A brawny Uncle Sam, sleeves rolled up, represents a nation fully committed to the war effort, factories at work, soldiers training, planes and ships already moving to attack.
