Sample of a propaganda flyer (front and back of a single sheet shown) thrown out while in the air by B-24 bomber crews in China, as collected by Robert Zolbe, who kept a few back when he tossed them out on missions.  These flyers were usually on very thin paper, and quite small, maybe 6-7 inches tall, and 4-6 inches wide. The flyers would be thrown out in handfuls over specific areas for propaganda or informational purposes for people on the ground.

This flyer is written in Chinese, and directed at people living near dock areas in Japanese occupied areas in China, encouraging them to stay away from the docks as the US was planning to bomb dock areas.
