This well-preserved leaflet was produced by the Psychological Warfare Branch of the U.S. Army. It was dropped by U.S. forces on Japanese troops in the Philippines following victory at the Lingayen Gulf. The illustration on the front of the leaflet shows an American convoy both in air and on sea along with phrase "Where is the Japanese Fleet?"

The back of the leaflet contains Japanese text that describe the situation including:

"Four days earlier, Japan had already discovered a large US fleet moving north, but the Japanese Navy did almost nothing to counterattack, allowing the US forces to successfully land easily at Lingayen Gulf."

"This demonstrates that the Japanese Navy has become completely unreliable. As a result, supply lines are completely cut off, and there is no way for reinforcements to arrive, leading to a situation where you (the soldiers) must fall into a bitter struggle."

"While you are facing such an unprecedented crisis, Tokyo radio broadcast that more than 80 Japanese naval officers have died since the start of the Greater East Asia War."
