1942 US Army/Navy educational comic strip.
Curious, isn't it?

That was a different time and racial stereotypes on all sides were quite common. In the case of this training booklet, it was for use by GI's in Asia. The "Taiwanese" flag symbol indicates it was used by US forces operating in China.

Let's be thankful that we have grown beyond this.
