Description:
Original caption reads: "Somewhere in central Africa. Here, at length, is the witch doctor and his USA airplane, the P-40, or "steam-chicken" as the bushmen call it. Civilization advances into the inner sanctums of the medicine men, and penetrates the Dark Continent, which for hundreds of years held to tribal masks passed down from generation to generation. Supplanting it with the stronger ju-ju of the white man, the medicine men construct these planes, complete with antenna and the US star, and descend on the tribe in flying echelon, as the evil spirits of the Nazis are drive out of the black man's territory."
