This well-preserved leaflet coded "31-J-1" was produced by the Psychological Warfare Branch of the U.S. Army. It was dropped by U.S. forces on Japanese troops "outside the homeland." The illustration on the front of the leaflet features a map at center showing the American's advance through the Philippines with arrows pointing to the next targets (Taiwan and Japan). Surrounding the map are photographic images of various American landings demonstrating material strength.

The back of the leaflet contains Japanese text and is accompanied by an additional page with the official English translation. A portion of this text is shown below (see images for complete text):

"After establishing strong bases in New Guinea, the American forces continued their advance and soon succeeded in reoccupying Manila and taking control of the Philippines."

"Is it not true that no matter what you do, nothing can affect the war's progress toward the Homeland?"
