The map of the Western front shows rivers, highways, international boundaries, and points of Allied activity in northeast France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and southeast France. The map of the European theater shows railroads, rivers, international boundaries, areas under Allied and German control, and notes activity in Finland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey.

Printed text reveals news on multiple fronts. Printed text on the back, accompanied by a photograph of an American plane, describes the effort it takes to build and use the plane. The text reads in part: "Crew: 147,142 men and women."
