What you’re looking at

This satirical cartoon depicts a figure labeled "OLD PREJUDICE" being struck by bombs labeled "OUR AIRCRAFT" and "THE FLYERS." The character is shown being knocked backward by aerial bombardment, with explosions visible on the ground below. The cartoon appears to celebrate military aviation's role in combating prejudice, likely from World War I or II era. "The Flyers" (pilots) are portrayed as weapons against social prejudice, with the caption "GOOD WORK!" offering approval of this metaphorical assault on bigotry. The satire suggests that modern warfare—specifically air power—can symbolically destroy entrenched prejudices. However, without a visible publication date, the specific historical context and which prejudices are targeted remain unclear from the image alone.
